Follow-up Comment #1, bug #29977 (project grub):
I've configured multiboot with Linux and XP on several machines using i845
chipsets. The one I still have (Dell motherboard manufactured by Foxconn) has
14 Linux distros in addition to XP and DOS on a single PATA. Grub legacy is
installed on one /boot and all / partitions. MBR contains generic code.
'chainloader (hd0,2)+1' boots the NTLDR menu to start either of DOS or XP just
fine. If you can't boot XP from Grub legacy, you're doing something wrong, not
Grub.
