You might consider using a DOS boot disk and running Fdisk. Check to see if there is an active partition at all. If not set one as Active, If that doesn't work set the next one and so on until it boots.
I usually set up only one or two non swap partitions. This keeps you from having to worry about things like this. But it does take away the protection that having a separate /var and /boot partition give you. At 11:04 PM 2/13/2002 -0500, you wrote: >OK .. I'm trying to install RedHat on a box.
