- Get the utility LILO and it will create the boot information on your Linux
- partition. That should make the boot manager recognize the partition as
- bootable. You might also have to set certain flags in FDISK (OS/2 FDISK) to
- make it work, but I can't remember because it has been too long since I've
- done it and I not longer have LINUX on my machine because my OS/2 partition
- was full and I needed 60 more meg. The documentation for LILO isn't very
- clear, but there is a file you have to edit to specify the partition to
- install the boot sector on. BE CAREFUL!
