Invalid Partion - help on setting up loader

[rob copsey]

Hi,

You've posted to the wrong list (see newbie's FAK). . .

Also, there are sections of the handbook that deal with this

and other aspects of setting up the boot loader and partition

scheme. If you still have questions after perusing the relevent

sections of the handbook, please post to the questions list.

Happy Holidays,

Rob
