All:
I'm admittedly a Linux Newbie, but nowhere near a newbie when it comes to
machines and software OS'es... I date back to MS-DOS 3.3 Days.
I thought I'd prevail upon the experts in the list. I''m trying to get Lilo or
Powerquest's Bootmagic to work as a bootloader. Only problem is: Lilo won't
load and BM won't properly boot the Linux Partition.
I have a 20 gig Hard drive, with 6 for Linux and Swap partitions. LILO says
can't be installed on a partitoin that goes beyond cylinder 1024... thats a laugh...
99% of the drives sold in the last five years have cylinders many times 1024...
Boot Magic can't properly Identify the Mandrake OS partition, and won't Boot
into it properly.
Question: Is there a LILO alternative besides a boot disk or Loadlin, or is there
some way to force bootmagic to ID the partiton right.
Please respond to my email address as well as the List.
Thanks,
Steve Olson
