Starts linux perfectly well here. I have

NT 4
Warp Connect
Warp 4
RHL 6
RHL 5

plus assorted OS/2 maintenance & testing partitions - all these (ecept 
/dev/hda4) are bootable:
Disk /dev/hda: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 782 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4128768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
