Can you pass windows xp boot switches thru Grub?

I've setup a multiboot system with Red Hat 9 running on one partition and windoze xp running on another. I'm using Grub to boot and everything is working fine, however I have a question. I'm wondering if it's possible to pass windows boot switches (/noguiboot /basevideo /bootlog....) when I select it to boot? I know how to do this using the windows boot loader but can't figure it out with Grub.

Any suggestions? (thx in advance)

the win bootloader is called from grub when you choose win.i think....
with lilo that's the case.

That worked. I put the switches in the boot.ini file in c:\ and they executed when I launched XP.

Thanks egag.
