I could not get BL2 to boot after I copied its files to a partition 
formatted using puppy linux gparted (and changed fstab to /dev/hda5). 
PQMagic 8 for DOS finds error #108.

The error message occurred when e2fsck did not work on the newer type of 
ext2 file system.  It said to get a newer e2fsck.  Should I try one from 
Slackware 11?

First I tried to reformat to older ext2.  Rather than boot with BL2 floppy 
to reformat, I tried mke2fs running it from puppy linux and was told sda5 
is not a block special device and should I go ahead anyway.  ?????

/dev/hda5 - no such device.  Puppy calls it sda not hda.
