Right. If you have a small /boot partition
(~25 MByte partition) in the first 8Gig area of your
disk, you will be able to boot OK. The rest of the
linux can go anywhere.

Doesn't this problem have to do with the size of the first partition
exceeding 1023 cylinders and dos is not able to see the second partition?

Subject: [newbie] Large HD install
I'm trying to install LM 6.0 for the first time. I used fips to decrease my
windows 98 partition on a 13 GB HD. When I try and run Disk Druid, it comes
up with an error "Boot partition too large." I know that I've read
something about this, but can't remember where. Can anyone give me a hand
with this? TIA
Rob
