"Boot device" mean really partition, so if you have C: ( main partition ) ,
D: and E: on the same phys disk, no problem to have three different Oses

Hi
I am reading Windows internals books.In chapter 5, it explains startup
process, the steps are:
1-)The BIOS selects a boot device, reads that device's MBR into memory,
and
transfers control to the code in the MBR.
2-)When the MBR finds at least one such flag, it reads the first sector
from
the flagged partition into memory and transfers control to code within the
partition
3-)After the boot-sector code loads Ntldr into memory, it transfers
control
to Ntldr's entry point.
4-)Ntldr next reads the Boot.ini file from the root directory using
built-in
file system code
5-)If there is more than one boot-selection entry in Boot.ini, it presents
the user with the boot-selection menu
Now if there is a linux OS in another partition and i select it to load
what will happen?
Ntldr transfer control MBR again?
What will be the procedur?
