I want to boot the 2nd partition on the second disk.
I've added the 2nd line to the WinXP boot loader.
Maybe it can't boot over 1024 cylinders?
Is there any documentation on what 'multi' and 'rdisk' mean?
I just ust the values from WinXP.
Suffice it to say that this doesn't work.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Linux" /fastdetect
/NoExecute=OptIn
