Hello:

Can syslinux be used to bootstrap Linux from a running Windows (or 
Windows shell) similar to the way loadlin does it? I mean, run a binary 
and give it Linux kernel and ramdisk as files on FAT or NTFS.

Adding an entry to boot.ini that references files on FAT/NTFS is also 
fine. Touching MBR of disk or partition is not allowed.

THX.
