try to put the root partition on hda, and _completely_ under cyl 1024
otherwise, you'll need a boot floppy, or grub, or a very current lilo
(the last two are rumored to work, not positive that they actually will
handle your proposed setup).

millions of others are by far the most popular, with about 70 million
machines in use wordwide. Macintosh fans, on the other hand, may note that
