ok. now when I boot up I get to the linux window with option of linux or OS
9.2 If I choose linux I get a black screen and no response from anything.
Os will boot fine. i haven't created a bootstrap partition or swap yet so I
am wondering if I have missed a step of the installation. any ideas?
thanks for you help.
