I have tried to install shoelace on my 1.5.10 system (286 with a 20meg hard
disk --- I am using the SECOND hard disk).  All the sources compiled fine
but when I try to laceup a floppy to 'practice' with winiboot, none of
the listed partitions will boot the system.  I have made sure that my
hard drive has all the necessary files in their directories (and that this
is reflected in /etc/config).  

Will shoelace boot a minix system in which the system resides on the
SECOND hard disk (i.e. /dev/hd6) of my machine?

It should be noted that I am using the hard disk as the root dev.

Thanks!
