Hi,

I have now booted my machine and got rio
started (Thanks again jim).

However when I try to do a diskpart I get a complaint
that partitions 1 & 2 overlap on the disk.

I don't claim to understand the Extended partition table - I
havent looked at this kind of thing for years, however
the output from linux looks OK; the Windows FDISK.EXE
also seems happy.

The disk is 6.4G which is 1/3 NT, 1/3 Linux
and 1/3 blank (will be Plan9).


Linux debug info below:
