I have the very same problem on the same board.
It is certainly not correct/professional/serious/etc..
by the "antivirus" authors to make it this way, and
we should all complain.
However, there is (maybe) a way to live with it,
in the sense of not having to be at the keyboard
when your server reboots after a blackout at 2:00 am.
I have this problem because I installed Mandrake 6.1 and
LILO on the MBR.
When I installed Mandrake 6.0 on the same machine, I put
LILO (don't ask me why...) not on the MBR, but on /.
With that setup, the BIOS still wrote in big red letters
that something was wrong, but after 1/2 second stepped
aside and let LILO do its job just fine.
I'd like to have feedback on this, because, quite frankly,
LILO and (in general) BIOS level things are beyond my skills
and interests, so I can't be sure whether what I just said
does actually make sense. If not, please explain why.
