RE: [TCLUG:7674] Boot problems
I figured out my boot problem this morning when I decided to reinstall and
reformat the drive.
During the re-install I noted the one single drive that I had was listing
out as /dev/hdb and not /dev/hda.
My CD Rom was the master and the hard drive the slave. Switching that around
fixed the booting problem.
Thanks for all the help.

That 528mb is generated from 1024 bytes = 1k, and the 540mb you get from the
manufacturor is from 1000 bytes = 1k, I always thought. fdisk 528mb = hd
540mb. Could be wrong...

528MB is where the 1024 limit comes in, so if it's actually 540MB...
