before seeing if the drive letter made any difference, I tried booting coLinux with my other configuration, one which matches the Linux drive mapping most closely.
it booted and ran sash, and I was able to actually attempt to run the static LILO program I'd compiled. but I get the error:
> /sbin32/lilo.static Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not exist, disk scan bypassed Fatal: geo_query_dev HDIO_GETGEO (dev 0x0804): Inappropriate ioctl for device
still, progress.
