I rember some other restrictions on booting a NTFS
filesystem with NT4. I had NT on hdb1 and NT wanted
ntldr on a FAT partition, Win95 was on hda2 and
linux scattered about on hda, hdb, and hdc.
I may have had someother problem that led to ntldr
on a fat partition, but when I installed NT on hdb1
with NTFS, it said I needed a FAT partition on
hda to do it (using NT's names for the drives :)
