What are you using for the boot loader?? LILO?? If it is lilo and the line
you saw was in /etc/lilo.conf
Then when your computer is booting and you see LILO on the screen, hit the
shift key. This will allow you to type "dos" which according to your email
message is the keyword for the DOS partition on your hard drive. Another
way to find out if you have a dos partition on your disk, is to use fdisk
within Linux and view the partition tables. If you have a dos partition on
your drive, this should show it.
If you have LILO on your system and want to know more about it read the man
pages and the LILO-FAQ. If you need a copy of this, I will send it to you
as an attachment.
