First you need to get a utility called "bootpart".
(download it from http://www.winimage.com)
Run "bootpart" from dos or NT to get a list of partition IDs.
Assuming that Linux is on partitition 0, execute the following commands
copy bootpart.* C:\
c:
cd \
mkdir boot
bootpart 0 C:\Boot\Linux Linux

After executing the above commands, you will have a "Linux" option
in boot.ini.  Works every time! (assuming that you specify the right
partition number for a working Linux installation).
