How can I get a real eyes on look at what is in the MBR. I'm trying
this:
dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr.img bs=512 count=1
Running strings on the result shows a litte of it:
strings mbr.img
LILO
LILOu)^h
`UUfP
fPYX
I thought maybe it could be mounted so:
mkdir mbr
mount -o loop mbr.img

The grub command succeeds but when I attempt to boot I still get a
crippled lilo response. By crippled I mean the dread:
read the reply to your other thread. you installed grub on the first
partition, not on the mbr. quite likely this over-wrote something
essential to lilo.
you can now boot with a boot cd and chroot into your environmment
(similar to what you did when installing).
From there you can fix either

It may be easier to just remove lilo with lilo -U
If you cant get the machine to boot so that you can type that, just use
a live cd like Knoppix or PCLinuxOS, then make symlinks so that lilo
would run. IE:
mv etc etc.old
ln -s /mnt/etc /etc
mv boot boot.old
ln -s /mnt/boot /boot
then
