That's because nobody except me has actually written a
bootloader yet, and I personally will not support Win2K
or Windows NT, because I'm not interested in those and
don't have any licences for those systems.

If there is anybody who really wants to write a boot loader for
any of these Microsoft systems, please feel free to contact me
for futher information. I know about someone presently working
on a loader for NetBSD. However, Unix is much easier to suppport
because it is much more open - even the commercial Unices. For
systems like Windows-NT you probably have to figure out how the
boot process works by using a debugger.
