Hmm, now that you say this, I looked back at the partition table (these are the
essential details I remember):
Partition Boot Start End Type
hda1 Primary 1 198 83
Linux
Native
hda2 Primary 414 791 5
Extended
hda3 Primary 199 215 82
Linux
Swap
hda4 * (something)
DOS something
hda5 Logical (etc.)
DOS something
hda6 Logical (etc.)
DOS something
So, this isn't exactly what I thought I had originally written as the
partitions (no
Linux native, only ext2). Now, what? I'm a bit lost. Switch hda1 to ext2 and
bootable?
