My first partition starts at 1, rather than 0, because fdisk warned me about that problem. But I can't boot even if I run swapoff before running silo before shutdown -h and attempted reboot ... Edmund (But I don't understand how the first partition being ext2fs would be any better. Does an ext2 file system not use the first sectors? When I ran mkfs.ext2 on a file it zeroed the first few sectors ...)
