Two things come to mind:
1) First make sure your /boot directory does not reside above the 1024th
cylinder
2) I recommend using XOSL as a boot manager (be sure to backup your MBR
before modifying it)

Subject: [newbie] Booting 2nd Linux drive
Hi all,
I've installed Linux on a secondary drive (hdb#) but I can't boot it.
Possible points of interest:
1. I tried using two boot manager's to access the boot record without
success
a. PhysTechSoft
b. BootManager
2. The Linux drive is the slave in a hardware config that looks like this:
Motherboard-------(ide)--------WIN98---------(ide)---------Linux
Why can't I boot Linux?? Any ideas??
