No, Windows NT or Windows 2000 can reside in an NTFS partition
(mine does). Just the secondary NT boot loader and BOOT.INI
need to exist on a (small) FAT filesystem. Of course, if you
didn't have the foresight to create one before installing
Windows NT or Windows 2000, adding it now could affect your
drive letters. (Fixable with the disk administration tool.)
By the way, I never did get Windows 98, NT 4.0, or 2000 Pro
to boot Plan9r3 via the boot-block image installed by the
Plan9r3 installation floppy. I ended up using partition boot
(with a boot manager utility so I can select which OS to boot).
