MBR erased
1. I have two hard drives sda1 and sdb1. I have RedHat installed on sda1
and Debian installed on sdb1. The master boot record on the sdb1(Debian
disk) was accidently erased. I can still mount the drive but I can no
longer boot from the sdb1 drive. Is there any way to copy the MBR back to
drive sdb1. I tried using the following while booting on drive sda1 and
mounting drive sdb1, but it did not work.
mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 /mnt (mounted okay)
chroot /mnt lilo -v -m /boot/map (runs okay and says that lilo was added)
next I tried to boot up using disk 2 or sdb1 and it freezes at the LI just
before the LILO prompt
2. Are there any resources where I can copy/make a debian boot disk
