Hello,

  I reckon the most important part of getting linux up is to use anything

  other than HD partitions hd0 & hd5. After I reread the stuff I had, I

  found that either one will destroy the partition table and linux will

  not boot with out a valid partition table and a fs on it. So after

  putting back the partition table with a 4 part partition and one

  defined for the disk, I used the minix demo disk to place a fs on

  hd1. After that things are working great.
