Re: Cannot boot off hardrive and help?

This confirms what I originally thought; the MBR hasn't been
written(this is done by either LILO, GRUB, or any other boot loader).

Oh, that makes things extremely odd. In that case, double-check that
/etc/lilo.conf is correct, and then run 'lilo'. Does it give you any
errors?
