If I install 0.1 onto the entire drive it works.  This is not acceptable.  I
need a dos partition.  When I create a dos partition and have 0.1 install to
the remaining when I reboot the system for the first time it goes into this
damn endless cycle of errors.  Something having to do with the disk label.

I am very desperate... I need this system running soon.... Please help

p.s. my system is a 486/33 with about a 200 meg IDE HD.  I want about 70 megs
for dos and 130 for 0.1.  The FAQ did not help and I have next to no info on
disklable.
