System commader V7.05 with Windows XP (Home) & RH Linux ver 9

I have a 30 Gb hard disk, with 8Gb NTFS Primary partition with Windows
XP and rest of the Gb Unallocated. Then installed System Commander.
When re-booted System Commander recognises XP already installed & when
I boot, I get into XP using System Commander OS selection menu.
Problem starts now. Installing RedHat Linux ver 9.0
Using OS wizard, tried adding Linux OS. Used all default settings 3 Gb
space and 128 Mb swap. At the end of it, SC asked to put in Linux
diskettes. RH-Ver 9.0 doesn't come in diskettes.
I quit. Re-boot with RH Liniux ver 9.0 cd in CD-ROM drive. RH Linux ver
9.0 boots. Once I get to the disk partitioning using Druid, I see 128
Mb of swap space & 3 GB of Linux partition.
I mount the Linux paritioned space as "/". Then I install RH Linux 9. I
tried using GRUB as boot loader. It didn't ask me where it needs to be
installed (MBR or in root partition). I also tried selecting "No Boot
Manager" too, thinking that System Commander would take over. Still I
can't boot Linux, selecting the Linux option in Boot selection window.
I have not created "/boot" partition. Is it the problem. I have just
"swap" & "/" in my system.
Once re-booted, I go to System Commander window. There I see
Linux/Windows XP/Boot from A: options. When I select Linux, it says
Linux partition is not bootable.
Restarted the system, saw the Linux Pingeon in the OS lists. Put the
RH-Linux version 9.0 CD-1 in the CD-ROM drive. Nothing happens.
What's the best way to go about, to make Linux installation
recognisable to System Commader.
