Well, there are likely several problems. First, Lilo and the ez-bios

No, the Linux file system is totally different from the Windoze fat16/32.
Linux can mount fat16/32 filesystems though.

Sorry, Beth, as you can probably tell from my message, I'm not

No. But it does have filesystem support for both of those.

I just tried it since I needed a reinstall anyway. And it's working just
perfectly. I know this test probably isn't the most reliable since it's

Certainly if your / partition is smaller than 541MB (which is likely).

of having the kernel located beyond cylinder 1024 would not arise unless
I recompiled it. Which I do not plan to do.

Provided you put the kernel and lilo below cylinger 1024 you will be
fine (the best way to guarantee that is to create a 50MB root
partition in that area and have separate /usr /var and /home

Hi all;
Background:
Building yet another Linux server from a recycled 486. I am
using a Maxtor IDE 4.3GB hard drive that uses an over-lay
software from Microhouse to enable this old, unupgradable BIOS
to read more than 528MB-hard drive.
This software inserts its own bios to enable the drive.
