Every time I have done so, I get an error after the installation is over, during boot up. One of three errors have come up. "Invalid Partition Table," "Missing Operating System" or "No /boot/loader". The hardware that I have in the box is a Abit BP6 motherboard, two 40 gig harddrives, 256 megs of ram, two Celeron 366's, a Netgear NIC, and an ISA video card. I was hoping you would know why I would get an error like this. I have tried using only 1 harddrive and making a 1.2 gig partition with standard MBR and that didn't work. I was hoping that you could help me figure out either, what I am doing wrong, or possible problems and solutions to that problem. Any and all help is appreciated.
