Ah, but mine ended up different:

After being modified in webmin. I've tried out the Win2k and it works fine.
I haven't bothered with the NT yet, don't care.

Hi Chet
Below is a copy of my /boot/grub.conf file. You can check the part that
boots NT4.0 on my system. If you first installed W2K on your first
partition and then installed RedHat Linux 8.0. It should work. During
install, you should have installed the grub loader to the MBR or the first
option. This is the way I install RedHat 8.0 on my system.

As you can see above, my NT4.0 label is pointing to the first partition of
the first hard drive. That partition is actually a 2 gig FAT16, but that is
where my hidden system boot.ini file lives and boot.ini file is what boots
windows NT4.0. My System go like this:
Per NT 4.0 Disk Administration
***************************************************
Disk 0:
C: Fat16 FAT16 2gig with hidden system file c:\boot.ini
E: NTFS 4095 MB
F: NTFS 8189 MB
Unknown 16371MB --This is Linux 7.3 ext2
Unknown 512 MB -- This is Linux 7.3 swap
Free Space 27423 MB
Disk 1:
Free Space 40 gig -- Actuall this is a mirrow image backup of Disk 0 minus
free blocks.
CD-Rom 0
H:
****************************************************
You can see the hidden boot.ini file with a the [ dir /a | more ] command
and it should be in the C:\ directory. Be sure and have the grub.conf file
point to the partition that is C:\. This is almost always the first
partition on the first drive (e.g. [ hd0,0] ).
If you didn't install the grub loader as the first option during installing
linux (e.g. MBR), you could probable reinstall linux and do so. It wouldn't
take long to reinstall RedHat Linux. Just select everything, and since
everything is already installed, the install should proceed quickly once the
installer checks the RPM database and see that everything is already
installed, it should proceed to the next step.
Make sure you give grub plenty of time to load W2K as it can take some time
if the W2K system is in a network and must authenticate in. It shouldn't
take more than a couple of two-three minutes, though, at the most.
If all else fails, you could create a linux boot disk, or change the active
boot partition with fdisk.
