GRUB in Red Hat 7.3 will also it by default, but only with FAT32
Windows.  They forgot to add NTFS detection to the 7.3 installer.  I
complained and you can expect this auto-detection to work as expected
the upcoming next Red Hat version.

Unfortunately in Red Hat 7.3 you must add a chain loader entry manually
to your /boot/grub/grub.conf file.  Fortunately this isn't too hard.  My
/boot/grub/grub.conf reads:

default=0
timeout=10                                                                      splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz                                     title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
	root (hd0,2)
	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
	initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title Windows XP
	rootnoverify (hd0,0)
	chainloader +1


I didn't like GRUB at first, but now I absolutely will never go back to
LILO.  GRUB simply rocks.
