You don't. Boot priority is specifed by the BIOS, not Windows 2000.
NTLDR is indeed a key boot file in Windows 2000 and all of the Windows operating systems since Windows NT. A machine will not boot without that file.
The HP Netervers LXPro, LX, and LXe system will hang during Windows 2000 installation if you attempt to boot from the Windows 2000 CD and if any Adaptec SCSI controller (including the system's embedded SCSI controller) is configured as the first bootable device on the PCI bus. Furthermore, there must be an additional storage controller configured to boot in sequence after the Adaptec SCSI controller.The HP Netservers LH Pro, LD Pro, and LH II system will hang during Windows 2000 installation if you attempt to boot from the Windows 2000 CD and if any Adaptec SCSI controller (including the system's embedded SCSI controller) is configured as the first bootable device on the PCI bus, and it is connected only to a CD ROM drive. Furthermore, there must be an additional storage controller configured to boot in sequence after the Adaptec SCSI controller.NOTE: The boot order is: slot 1, slot 2, slot 3, slot 4, embedded SCSI A, embedded SCSI B, slot 5 and slot 6.On NetRAID only: Disable the boot priority on the embedded SCSI via ECU. The HP NetRAID adapter must be placed in slots 1, 2, 3 or 4.'''SOLUTION:Install Windows 2000 using Windows 2000 setup diskettes.Creating setup diskettesFour blank formatted diskettes are needed.

Four (4) startup disks are needed to boot Windows 2000 from floppy disks.
To do this, you must boot from the Windows 7 disc or USB thumb drive. To do this, enter your BIOS, which can usually be done by pressing Delete or F8 when it is booting, or if you have a Dell by changing the boot priority right on the startup screen. After this, hot the reboot button and it should take you right into the Windows 7 setup. Make sure after this is done, you change the boot priority back to your hard drive first.
Nothing was techinically "replaced", but they booted in phases rather than specific files. This lead to adding bootmgr(Windows Boot Manager) which reads a registry type file that was not used in Windows XP.
Dual Booting, using a program called a 'Boot Loader'. Note: If you want boot both opreting system win xp and win 2000 at a time then you use VM ware software.
NTLDR
I suggest installing Windows, and then Linux (preferably on different physical hard drives). When Windows is installed it tends to overwrite the boot partition, making it difficult to boot linux afterwards.
Bcdedit.exe
When it finishes booting. (Starting Windows\Mac OSX\Linux\Other)
The floppy disk has nothing to do with the operating system on the hard drive. You can use a floppy disk created in Windows XP to boot a computer that has Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, etc...
boot priority in BIOS just specifies which drive or other boot able device to use first to boot from.
