Figure 4.18. Boot Loader Installation

Tip

If you have a RAID card, be aware that some BIOSes do not support booting from

the RAID card. In cases such as these, the boot loader should not be installed on

the MBR of the RAID array. Rather, the boot loader should be installed on the

MBR of the same drive as the /boot/ partition was created.

If your system only uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you should choose the MBR.

Click the Change Drive Order button if you would like to rearrange the drive order or if your

BIOS does not return the correct drive order. Changing the drive order may be useful if you

have multiple SCSI adapters, or both SCSI and IDE adapters, and you want to boot from the

SCSI device.

The Force LBA32 (not normally required) option allows you to exceed the 1024 cylinder limit

for the /boot/ partition. If you have a system which supports the LBA32 extension for booting

operating systems above the 1024 cylinder limit, and you want to place your /boot/ partition

above cylinder 1024, you should select this option.
