Ok. So, grab 5 or 10 megs at the head of the drive, or put
Linux on a separate drive, but put LILO on /dev/hda. Either
way should work. I haven't messed with PM lately, but IIRC,
you can specify that you need a partition in a specific
place....just specify it at the head of the drive. All I
can suggest, my friend, is RTFM of Partition Magic.
