I have installed Mandrake-Linux to my computer. The drives are laid out like
this:
/dev/hda1 - NTFS - NT boot
/dev/hda2 - NTFS
/dev/hdb1 - NTFS (3 Gig)
/dev/hdb2 - Linux (2.8 Gig)
/dev/hdb5 - Linux swap (200 K)
As you would guess Lilo doesn't boot into Linux in this situation because the
Linux is too far from the beginning of /dev/hdb.
When I was installing Linux I remember seeing a 7Meg section at the beginning of
/dev/hdb that is not used. I'm assuming it is there to put a small kernel
loader in, which is exactly what I want to do.
Is it possible to format this 7M section and put the kernel on it without
re-installing? If so, how?
If it is not possible, how do I need to set it up upon re-install? I'm thinking
I need to make this 7M partition the mount point "/" and the partition with
linux "/boot", or is it the other way around?
Thanks for all of your help.
