I have been wondering why I couldn't get LILO to install properly on my Master Boot Record and discovered the reason today.  Apparently LILO will only boot a Linux partition if it is physically within the first 1200 or so (I can't remember the exact number) cylinders.  Unfortunately my partition is after this cylinder at around 1600.  If there a way to get round this without resorting to reshuffling of partitions to get my Linux ones to the beginning of the harddisk?  Or do I have to obtain a copy of PartitionMagic?
 
Best regards,
Matt.
