      The boot.ini is just text, aint it? Write it down then. Though I find it funny that you are using the Windows multi-boot mechanism, becazse I find it easier to use GRUB as my boot manager - just restoring it from a Knoppix CD is all it takes (because the config will still be stored on the linux partition and I can just chroot there and install it again.)
