I was not watching.  There is a third very small partition that the
computer uses for something.  Since linux won't boot at all on this 
computer with lilo or loadlin we will probably change the partition to 
FAT16 instead of ext2 and make sure it is primary at that time.

One of the two linux-compatible 486s just died.  Bad part in the DC to DC 
convertor so no power to the motherboard, just the batteries.
