Pick up a copy of Partition Magic from Powerquest and use
that to "squeeze" a 5-10 meg partition at the head of the
drive that windows won't "see." Make that your "/boot"
partition and that *should* work.
If you picked up a boxed set of Mandrake, you should have a
copy of Partition Magic included on one of the extra CDs.
If not, you'll have to pony up an additional fee to
PowerQuest for a full version of PM.
