Hmmm, I am not sure about that. I think "C:" is the first DOS-known
primary partition on the BIOS 0x80 device. I don't believe the
active / bootable flag matters.

Anyway, if you are using Win9x, you might find that DOS and loadlin are
a pretty good boot manager for Linux. I think it's just as fast as LILO
(faster, depending upon how you set the delays.)
