I've gotten it to install and reboot off the mbr now
(I was using system commander before, but it can't
seem to boot the linux partition).
the above is probably your problem, I do not think its possible to
boot from partitions inside a extended partition (its at the very
least problematic). since you only have 2 primary partitions defined
moving your linux one out of the extended one is a non issue.
you also must make sure everything that is needed for bootstrap is
inside the 1024th cylinder of your hard disk. (the kernel and such
all in LILO docs)
I think its better to farm out your partitions a bit, a /usr a /home
and a /var let you have a small / partition that makes it easy to
keep within the BIOS limits.
