That was a start, but I can't see my linux partition at all - i've
got two drives in the machine, and it's only showing the bootable
partition on /dev/hda (mac os) - /dev/hdb is conspicuously missing...
and since i can't get into linux, i can't run mkofboot. any other
thoughts?
Thanks,
Darren David
