new LILO won't install a new boot sector ...

["Seth M. Landsman" <seth@job.cs.brandeis.edu>]

	So I have a laptop that has been running slink since August.  I
just downloaded the new lilo and tried to install a new kernel via lilo.
I get the error message :

[seth@windfall] sudo lilo
First boot sector has a pre-21 LILO signature

	lilo -q does not show the new kernel has been installed.  In
rebooting, the new kernel is in fact not installed.  Any one know if there
is a way to update a lilo 20 boot record so that lilo 21 will install?

	Or do I have to bite the bullet and do an fdisk /mbr and boot from
a disk?
