Re: [Plug] That idiotic cylinder 1024 problem
|
The various MS OS's use the mbr or the first cylinder for their boot process. I
think that all of the kernels must reside in the first cylinder of the disk and
no where else. That is why the NT partition and the FATxx partition are in
reality beyond the first cylinder or what is called the master boot record.
For much greater deapth of understanding read the LIlo users manual that comes
with Lilo. It is in postscript so should print on your printer.
