I used ntloader to do the job. Acutally, mine is a quad-boot system
after each system is installed, need to make the boot sector file, you can use bootpart.
after install Soralis, use fdisk to change the active boot sector from Solaris to windows2000 partition.
boot.ini as follows:(*.60g is the 512bytes
boot sector file)
[Boot Loader]
Timeout=15
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\BOOT_RHT.60G="Linux"
C:\BOOT_SOL.60G="Solaris 10"
C:\="Windows 98"
