Any ideas why I can only boot Red Hat 5.2 from floppy?  My system has NT/98
dual boot now and I added Linux on a second hard disk.  I setup LILO to not
go on the MBR.  I followed some docs that I found on setting up a dual boot
with NT and Linux and modified the boot.ini with an entry for bootsect.lnx
that I copied to the c:\.  I had the same problem with LILO on the MBR as
well.  Can Linux go on a secondary drive?  I'm real new at this Linux thing.
Any help on Linux and NT dual boot would be muchly appreciated.  Thanks

Guy
