	Well.. You shouldn't have any problem using that as the boot
drive... the nly problem I would see you encountering would be that the
boot partition does have to be under the 1024 cylinder limit... the
easiest way to get around that is to have a small partition under 1024 for
the root partition then partition the rest of the drive as you want...

	Respectfully,
