My windows 2000 partition goes up to the 768 silindar with bios translation enabaled. I have a computer with bios that currently does not support booting over the 1023 silidner boot limit. My question is this. I have read the debian install manual but if I do the following I'm not sure how to tell it what partition to mount as what. I want to have the following partition set up Windows 2000 partition, currently taking up about 768 silinders. I want a /boot directly after that. I want a / that contains all my programs, user directorys and so on. I can create the partitions but how do I tell debian to use the /boot to boot off of instead of just the /? Appreciate this as the fedora install was a lot easyer, but I want to use debian instead for other reasons.
