<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>run liloconf and install lilo into the first sector
of your linux partition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>then run </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>dd
if=/dev/hda2 of=/tmp/lunix.boot bs=512 count=1 (replace hdax with whatever
partition you have linux installed on)</FONT></DIV>
