Hi. Look over the documentation for mbr in /usr/doc. mbr is a configurable master boot record that replaces the original on the hard disk drive. In order to change the boot parameters and display, you must change the defaults in the source file and re-assemble the code to be inserted as a new mbr. On my computer, when the shift key is held down, I get '1FA'. Pressing the 'A' key give the advanced options '1234F'. I can then boot from any primary partition.
All the details are in the documentation and there are several options as to how you would like the system to boot. Using a lilo.conf file is also another way to go, and this may be easier, although I don't think that lilo will read a fat32 partition to boot from. I intend to experiment with mbr to change the default booting more to my liking. By the way, I don't think you've done anything wrong. A default mbr is installed and you must configure and re-install a new one to do what you want. -- tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
