reformatting MBR

2000-09-03 Thread John Anderson
I am having an error messages such as No operating system or, 40 40
40... on the screen after the hard disk jumpers were not set up correctly.  
What is the command to redo the master boot record?

just re-load lilo into the MBR just make sure your lilo.conf is
configured right

to install to the MBR use the line:

boot=/dev/hda

to install to the primary, master hd, change accordingly for other
drives.
