Ok. I found the command (or created it as I went, anyhow):
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=446 count=1
Didn't do squat, as I was still getting the same stuff after running it, so I reformatted sda1, and now I can't boot!!!!
Just kidding of course.
I moved all of the files in /boot over to /kernels and edited my menu.lst around to point to /kernels/vmlinuz sort of stuff, so now it works.
I then just flat out deleted sda1, resized sda2 and moved the remaining space into sda5, as my swap. Now when I reboot without the floppy in, I get:
(only the underscore blinks very fast )
I would have rather it not said GRUB, but I guess I can live with it. Thanks for all the help.
