I would like to thank all the people who sent me email on how to get it
working. So far I've got it installed, except it won't boot off of the
hard disk with the OS/2 boot mangler as far as I can tell (It returns
that the partition is not formatted???). After booting up on the
floppy boot disk, though, everything works fine.
Is there something special I need to do so I don't get the
Partition Not Formatted error message? I used mke2fs to create a 100MB
partition (no swap yet) for linux. I have the partition type set to 81.
I created the initial partition with OS/2's fdisk as a primary partition and
added it to the boot mangler.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this quarter I could *really* use
Linux on my machine for my classes (Operating Systems and compiling Spice
for Analog Electronics).
