<<<Had the same problem. Just get into root and run lilo. That fixed it for me.
Wow, thanks so much for the quick reply. I did the re-install three times to make sure
I did it right...
I have knowledge of Unix, but forgot how to get into my root once I boot from floppy
in recovery mode. Would you mind outlining the steps for this (ie., commands...)...
When you ran LILO what did you do at that point.. just tell it to create the boot
record manually?
Do LILO and these individual programs have more documentation on the web..? Or would
you recommend one of the O'Reilly books (ie., are these pgms standard enough...)
Thanks again,
Mike

Had the same problem. Just get into root and run lilo. That fixed it for me.
Think there's a problem with the script. It's happened several times but,
not every time I've installed 5.0.
