Fantastic!!! That did it!! I now have a dual boot ipaq. Thank you very much Vasily for sticking with me. And thank everyone else's input. I had previously used mke2fs -j /dev/mmcblk0p1 (I don't remember where on the handhelds.org website I took this from). instead of mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1 I intend to use this device a lot, so I really appreciate the good work you all do. I'll try and post my impressions once I really explore it and work with it. Gustav.
