Hi,

I now have a need to tri-boot DOS, XP, and Linux.  I have dual booted XP and 
Linux for years using grub.  My problem is with DOS.
The system:
P3 800Mhz
1GB RAM
SCSI hard drives
Adapatec 2930U2 scsi card

My plan:
sda1:
100MB FAT32 DOS or even FreeDOS
sda2:
rest of the disk space for XP

sdb1:
Linux - whole disk

based on what I have read I should install DOS, Windows, and Linux in this 
order.

My grub.conf should look something like this:
default=0
title DOS Boot Disk
        root(hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

title Hat Linux
        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/sdb1

title Windows XP
        rootnoverify (hd0,1)
        chainloader +1

Will this work?  Are there any potential issues I should know about?

Thanks,
