Windows has some for of bootselect feature than can be used to
load another OS of a different disk.
IIRC it needs a copy of the other os's boot code in a file of the
windows system.
The only problem is that it doesn't pass the bios disk number to the
bootcode (in %dl) to the code has to be patched to access the correct disk.
