I believe the partition number is not really important, as long as: |
| 16 |
- the partition is set as bootable (grub might be able to do that |
| 17 |
automagically) |
| 18 |
- all the win boot files reside fully inside the first 1024 cylinders of the |
| 19 |
drive (so preferably: the partition itself should start and end in those |
| 20 |
first 1024 cyls.) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
or something to that effect. |
