No, that's correct. You must install either LILO or GRUB in your Linux partition. (Side note: I have two hard drives -- ad0 has linux (from scratch) and ad2 has FBSD 5.0. I made ad2 dangerously-dedicated (silly me!) so neither GRUB nor LILO will work in ad0. So I had to make a boot floppy.) > > Also, this is my first post to the mailing list, so if there is a format or > something that I'm supposed to follow, please let me know.
