I wouldn't think grub would survive having the MBR over wrote. |

The MBR takes control first and can hand control over to the root segment (or other segments actually). That's how you setup a multi-boot system, each OS has a boot loader in it's own segment, but the MBR loader selects which one. To multi-boot LiLo (or grub) would have to be in the MBR. I think the options are specified in lilo.conf for this.... check the man page. |

Alternatively you can do it on the commandline with lilo -b /dev/hda. |

Well, I've had more trouble with grub than with lilo. The latter always works for me. Sybren -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? |
