I have a multi-boot test system.  It currently has one drive with both XP 
and Shrike installed.  I installed XP first, so I'm using Grub as the boot 
loader.

I've installed a second drive and am about to install Win2K on it.  Now, I 
know that this is going to break my install and that I'm going to have to 
do something to fix it, and I just wanted to make sure that I understand 
what's about to happen.

The win2k install will leave the hda partition table alone, but will 
over-write hda's MBR, telling it to point to the boot sector on hdb (where 
I'll be installing win2k), correct?  So, all I should have to do is:

a) backup hda's MBR (dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1)
b) install win2k on hdb
c) restore hda's MBR (dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1)
d) manually edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and add an entry for hdb

Does this sound correct?

Thanks!

Ben
