- Your BIG MISTAKE was to use the linux fdisk for partitioning your hard
- disk, instead of OS/2's own partitioning routine. I don't know how many
- times this has been pointed out here already (and even in the various
- README and FAQ files, I believe) that if you use OS/2 with Linux, then
- use OS/2 to partition your HD and use the linux fdisk only to set the
- System Id (81 or 82) for linux partitions! So you might want to try to
- do it that way next time.

- Good luck!
