I am having the following problem: I have Linux Debian 2.1 + Windows NT 4.0 I have followed the instructions in the minihowto and got the NT to give the menu to choose either NT or Linux. However I cannot mark the Linux partition bootable: this gives an error on boot up. I have another machine with OS2 boot manager, and I mark the Linux partition as well as the MBR bootable.
This is no problem by itself, but unfortunately, when I copied zImage to a floopy, this seems to require that the Linux partition be marked bootable. If this is not done, on boot up the machine says it did not find a boot sector on floppy and proceeds to give the menu choices. I tried, changing the lilo.conf to boot=/dev/fd0, and then running lilo. After this I changed the lilo conf to /boot=/dev/sda2. THis made no difference. Is is pottisble to have a bootable floppy with NT and Linux? Thanks. Sebastian Canagaratna Department of Chemistry Ohio NOrthern University Ada, OH 45810
