That is a prompt from your BIOS, wanting to know which partition / drive to boot from. You might get this from pressing a key too soon in the boot sequence, or from not having a proper boot sector installed. If you are using LILO, check to make sure that it is installed on the boot sector rather than in the partition. -- Stephen Ryan Debian GNU/Linux Mathematics graduate student, Dartmouth College -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
