Why not? The only rule I'm aware of is that you can't use DOSEMU directly on a mounted filesystem -- though IIRC you can use lredir to gain access to that, too. t> This seems to indicate that the boot partition, normally dev/hda1, There's no "normal" boot partition; it's whatever partition has its active flag set.

Or you can install LILO on your Linux partition, which works as well. AFAIK you can't install LILO on a DOS partition at all and still expect it to work. -- _____________________________ / \ "The cat's been in the box for over | David Maze | 20 years.
