Possibly a daft question, but is the partition active? I've had this sort of thing happen before when I create partitions and forget to make them active.
If you're not sure, use fdisk on a DOS floppy to check and set it if you need to. IIRC the partition has a A next to it. You can use a linux fdisk if you prefer. > I'm trying to boot LRP from a small DOS partition on a IDE hard drive > following the instructions in the LRPHardDiskHOWTO, but I'm not having any > luck.
