[plug] LILO

[J Tonkin]

I had a similar problem after installing windows and then reinstalling
debian. I could get dos to boot but no Linux I ran cfdisk 2 or 3 times and I
would still get that crap. Sometimes the mbr goes bad.

The way I got around it (and I know ppl are going to hate this). Is to use a
dos fdisk and make dos partitions. then try and reinstall debian.
