Ah, that must have been it.  My system was happily dual-booting with 
BeOS and win98, and it was when I upgraded to XP that the bootloader 
ceased to work correctly.  Since the partitions never changed I just 
assumed the bootloader would still work (then again, you know what you 
make when you assume).  I think winXP has to have the bootloader on a 
windows drive, it kept fussing about not being able to find several 
system files.
