I think there was something wrong with my partition table. Coz I made
another logical partition, and then I was able to add a bootmenu entry
for the linux partition. However, it still does not appear in my boot
time options -- very strange.

When does it happen that fdisk shows a bootmenu entry but that entry
does not show up in the bootloader menu while booting?
