- I got it to work (after a little hassle) First get the program lilo to
- make your linux partition bootable. If your linux partion is a primary
- partition you should be ready to roll, otherwise things are a little more
- commplicated. If your lunix partition is on an extended partiton and is
- not the first one you need to set the first logical partition bootable as well
- as the linux partition. Once you have done this once, you can remove the
- bootable setting off the the first logical partition. I don't know why
- you have to do this but it works...
