How can I get a real eyes on look at what is in the MBR. I'm trying |
| 2 |
this: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr.img bs=512 count=1 |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Running strings on the result shows a litte of it: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
strings mbr.img |
| 9 |
LILO |
| 10 |
LILOu)^h |
| 11 |
`UUfP |
| 12 |
fPYX |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I thought maybe it could be mounted so: |
| 15 |
mkdir mbr |
| 16 |
mount -o loop mbr.img mbr |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
But mount wants to know what `type' filesystem it is. I tried a few |
| 19 |
things but really didn't expect them to work like: |
| 20 |
ext2 msdos minix iso9660 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
None worked of course. So can this be done? Any one know what |
| 23 |
should be in there exactly and how to view it? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
What this is all about is that I'm not succeding in overwriting the |
| 26 |
lilo code mbr by running `grub setup' |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The grub command succeeds but when I attempt to boot I still get a |
| 29 |
crippled lilo response. By crippled I mean the dread: |
| 30 |
Li . . . . Hang forever |
