We feel it is important to reproduce the steps used in the paper,
http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix03/tech/freenix03/agnew/agnew_html/index....
in a emulator. Since LILO was used to boot win 2000 and the paper also
stated that grub worked fine.
   Reading a little more ADLO's status file I found this:
        STATUS

==========================================
==========================================

LILO
    fully supported

==========================================
GRUB
    fully supported

notes
        int15/eAX=00C0 - not supported
        int15/Eax=5300 - not supported
        int 13 ; fn 41 -> dev 81
        int 13 ; fn 08 -> dev 81
 ==========================================

In spite of that I am also working on a version that has windows boot
loader, NTLDR. I'm not having much success, the error seems to be very
similar to the one I get when I use GRUB.
