Hi Debian users, I noticed in the very beginning of the Debian Squeeze installer (under ‘help’) that it said:
-begin- In order to start your new system, a so called boot-loader is used. It can be installed either in the master boot record of the first hard disk, or in a partition. When the boot-loader is installed in a partition, you must 'set' the boot-loader flag for it. Such a partition will be marked with ‘B’ in the main partion menu. -end- I am installing Debian Squeeze 'netinst' on a 2nd hard disk and will dual-boot with windows. In the partition setup during installation, I created my first partition on the 2nd drive as /boot. Do I need to ‘set’ the boot-loader flag in this /boot partition configuration to 'on'? When they mention the phrase, 'set the boot-loader flag', I assume they are instructing me to 'turn the flag ‘on’ in the partition menu for /boot. I see the default is set to ‘off’.
