Lesley! Substitution of native win xp-pro kernel with the nt.3.1 one
IS EXTREMELY dangerous.
It works ONLY for completely stripped 16 mb machine and is UNPROVEN yet, as I am the only one to date who managed it.
Other inmates failed, bacause, I suppose, of using
1. more than one hdd in cmp machine
2. Using more than ONE partition
3. Using Fat32 partition.
The /kernel= switch in boot.ini allows to load and boot alternate kernel so old only for a SINGLE SESSION. After this, You won't boot even with original one, unless You perform a special restore ntldr procedure. It is explained by a change to the MBR (master boot record) and its copy, making things temporary unbootable. No one has yet recreated the tweak, and though I perform it on a daily basis, I MYSELF publicly denounced it, untill we find the way to make it stable.
