This patch implements a loader for NTLDR boot semantics (which are
the same in BootMGR, hence both are supported).

It still needs some cleanup in chainloader.c before it can be merged [1],
but I submit it so that others can test it and report if it works for
them.


Tested with WinXP in a VM:

Before the test, original boot code behind partition boot sector was destroyed.
(dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 bs=512 seek=1 count=20)

Then this fails:

root=(hd0,1)
chainloader (hd0,1)+1
boot

But with the patch this still works:

root=(hd0,1)
ntldr /ntldr
boot

Thanks.
