Hi,
I installed on the active partition minix 2.0 and its monitor.
On another partition is a Linux distribution installed.
I would like to be able to launch Linux from the monitor, but all I
have when I launch it is a black screen ....
Any ideas ?
Lionel.

I assume the black secreen is _after_ you gave the "Linux" command at the
"boot" monitor prompt.
Minix monitor does not include any "Linux loader" (in fact, no loader except
for Minix). So you should "chain-load" to your Linux loader. To succeed,
this Linux loader should be installed in the boot sector of the _Linux_
volume (the one you indicate as a device to the boot monitor); so this
restricts the choice to either Lilo or Grub, (and disqualifies LoadLinux or
SysLinux) as bootloader.
