RE: MBR Problem
Are you doing this on a clean drive? Did you partition under linux?
I searched around on google (it is pretty easy to find "40 40 40" :) )
and other people have had this problem, but I couldn't find a conclusive
solution.
make sure lba32 is in /etc/lilo.conf it is in all the lilo.conf's I have on
working machines so I can't see why it wouldn't be in yours. Some people
suggested it was related to being over the 1024 cylinder limit.
Also, if it is a clean disk, repartition it. Try a 10 MB /boot partition
(but this should be solved with lba32).
You could also try linear instead of lba32, see if that helps.
Finally, what sort of machine is this on? How old is the bios etc?

I tried
fdisk /mbr
and then reinstalled potato, installing lilo on /dev/hda1, not the MBR.
I still get that shit when I boot.
