Doing the "break my system" and try to fix it
thing, and did a good job... (It's a boring weekend.)
Ran dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 count=1 seek=1
bs=1024
I really wanted to do /dev/sda2, but put sda1 in
too quickly before rebooting and figuring out what I did.
I didn't do anything else... For some reason,
the system doesn't want to seem to boot from CD, and all I get is
"grub>". I'm playing around with a boot floppy. I think remember
RedHat once had a seperate rescue floppy, then seemingly went back to having the
rescue option on the install disk.
I tried a mkbootdisk from another machine, but
realize just now, that the floppy won't have the same system.map file, for
example, so that likely won't work.
But more importantly, why can't I seem to boot off
the CD? I'll have to check my BIOS settings (in VMware). It booted
from CD fine for the install.
In all this, I'm assuming a 100MB /boot would have
a backup superblock...
