You should install lilo in the root-fs partition. Then it will be loaded if

Hi!
How do I go about inserting an mbr if my current setup isn't using LILO
(and thus hasn't made the hd bootable)?
Does toggling the bootable flag in fdisk take care of that?
I'd like to install lilo on my system and up to now I haven't used it, so
my hd is not bootable.
TIA!
