That is a prompt from your BIOS, wanting to know which partition /
drive to boot from.  You might get this from pressing a key too soon in
the boot sequence, or from not having a proper boot sector installed.
If you are using LILO, check to make sure that it is installed on the
boot sector rather than in the partition.
