Re: BootMagic...

["A.G." <gskela yahoo com>]

Hi Rick,

thanks for replying.  I did try to add Redhat to bootMagic but first it
doesn't detect it so I have to go to the advanced options where it
displays partitions.  When I choose to boot from the ext2 partition (the
redhat root partition) and reboot the computer Bootmagic gives me the
choice of booting the linux partition but then it goes blank.  I guess I
can't find a boot record on the partition.  At this point I can only boot
up Redhat from a boot floppy.  I don't know what to do.  Do you have any
idea what I can do?
Also I don't remeber having had a choice of where to put Lilo during
installation...:(

Thanks a lot,

Alekx
