I thought I'd try once more to get grub working in my prefered |
| 2 |
resolution. I've been able to get what I want with lilo right along. |
| 3 |

I just assumed grub would overwrite lilo code in the MBR but I'm |
| 5 |
finding it does not. It cripples lilo boot so that it doesn't work |
| 6 |
but I still get the dreaded ..`Li..' hang on boot. |

Just for the record, shouldn't grub setup (hd0,0) overwrite any other |
| 9 |
code in MBR? If it does not what does it mean? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Grub would show a failure if it did not find /boot/grub and the files |
| 12 |
under there when setup is run so it seems to succeed. I'm sure lilo |
| 13 |
is aimed at hda as well and can see it in lilo.conf, further if it |
| 14 |
were running from another parition it wouldn't get crippled from |
| 15 |
running grub against hda... right? |

So I guess I need to zero out the mbr somehow. I faintly remember |
| 18 |
some dd syntax involving 0 (zero) but can't find it now to refresh my |
| 19 |
memory. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
dd if=/?? of=?? -b 512? with the right stuff in there can clean the |
| 22 |
mbr right? |
