Boot Loader Configuration - Installation Location

Choose the partition where you would like the boot
loader to be installed.

Choose to install the boot loader on the Master Boot
Record (recommended), unless the MBR already starts
another OS loader, such as System Commander. The MBR is
a special area on your hard drive that is automatically
loaded by your computer's BIOS, and is the earliest
point at which the boot loader can take control of the
boot process. If you install the boot loader in the MBR,
when your machine boots, it will present a boot: prompt.
You can then boot Red Hat Linux or any other operating
system you configure the boot loader to boot.

Choose to install the Linux boot loader on the first
sector of your boot partition, if you are using another
boot loader. In this case, your other boot loader will
take control first. You can then configure that boot
loader to start the Linux boot loader (which will then
boot Red Hat Linux).
