problem with 4.4 installboot

[Chris Bennett]

Try installing GAG after installing 4.4
GAG works great off of a CD, a floppy or on the hard drive.
It will allow you to boot off of various partitions and more than one 
hard drive

If that doesn't work, send more info like a dmesg and how you have all 
these OS's laid out
Misc is a better source of info for most problems, but this is an OK 
list to use for stuff like this
