Hello at first I want to say that I'm a newbee at linux and I'm  Dutch (so my English could be better).
I've got a (small?) problem, I've installed DSL (debianlike) on de slave hd, (the master contains win98). Created 2 partitions hdb1 for the swapfile and hdb2 for linux, so far so good but how can I start it? "sudo -u root mkliloboot" doesn't work and with grub I've got a message with 'windows on master' (or something like that) but nothing works..
Someone an idea?

I was thinking, is it possible to run this with a bootfloppy?
In that case what do I need, and what do I have to edit.

If you place your windows hd as (slave) hdb and dsl hd as hda (master), then it should work without any problems.
