Ok, I reinstalled SC2000 and it did pick up the Linux drive and gave me an
option to boot; however, when I choose it, I receive an error message saying
that there is something wrong with the boot sector. It says that the boot
sector does not have the usual signature. If I tell it to go ahead and boot
anyway, it just hangs. Obviously I did something wrong in the Linux
install, probably with LILO. Do you have any ideas? I know it didn't ask
me whether to install LILO in the MBR, so I am not sure where it put it.
Thanks again,
Wendell
