It isn't the OS that loads the boot sector, it's the firmware (BIOS'
boot code).
Have you had an OS on this computer before?
Hello,
I am using the install CD and the install runs fine,
but after removing CD, the OS won't load the

It's an Intel i5 with 8gb RAM.
I've changed all my power and CMOS setting and nothing works.
Is this a common problem installing Debian?

hello,
I have been reading through a bunch of howto's on creating floppy based linux
systems. The process of creating the floppy images strikes me as being way
too complicated.
In short, is there a program which behaves like this?
mkbootdisk --append="" kernel.img rootfs.img

I can't imagine why not, but you won't be a
Hi,
Is it possible to change the boot loader on a software RAID system while
the system is running in multiuser mode? Currently the machine has LILO
installed, but I would like to switch it to grub.

Dai,
Grub and LILO can both chainload to each other just like they can to a windows
boot loader. You can have the other boot loader on another drive or at the
beginning of a partition.
I did just this to make things a little more pleasant to my wife, who is not
hip to windows and finds some
Because of the nature of a boot loader, I don't think it can load
another boot loader such as lilo or even GRUB thats a part of another
disk. I'm only beginning to understand how all these things work. I
could be totally wrong but this my understanding after reading documents
online.

mbr is _not_ a boot loader. It is a MBR
problem is that ever since the Debian installation attempt, during
which I installed the "mbr" boot loader, I have been unable to boot
properly into Windows or my now successfully installed Mandrake OS without
using the Win98 CD. If I don't do this, I get a prompt that says
"MBR1234F
. Leave it to MS to make a rule that says you can't use their
boot loader to load non MS software.

o use win98 startupdisk either, as long as there is fdisk on

Ok I will try that tonight and see what happens tonight and report back
and see if its just a funcationality that grub has. I like your other
idea though of setting up a small boot partion on /dev/hda as well.
That should work for sure as you said.
