I read the README file last night and discovered that the letters of 'LILO' 
that you get before the system hangs can provide diagnostic information.  
Getting 'LI' means something like "The first stage boot loader was able to 
load the second stage boot loader, but was unable to execute it."  Apparently 
this can be caused by a geometry mismatch or by moving the 'boot.b' file 
without running the map.

I ran fdisk and looked at the partition information of my DOS partitions.  For 
both my primary and extended partitions it said that the partition does not 
end on a sector boundary and tells me what it should expect.  

Is this a 'Geometry Mismatch' ?
Could this be causing my problems ?
Does this have something to do with using "BIG IDE" drives ?
How do I rectify the situation ?

Darren.
