deleted /boot files
while getting ready to build a raid 1 array, i accidentally deleted
the /boot files. the partition is still there however and is still
flagged as boot partition.
although i have a boot floppy for this machine, i could not retrieve
a backup of the /boot partition from another hard disk i have. in
a novice attempt to resolve this, i copied the /boot partition from
another machine and reboot. upon rebooting w/ the boot floppy, i
ran lilo to try to rebuild the MBR. lilo complains:
> Added Linux *
> Skipping /vmlinux.old
> Fatal: First sector of /dev/hda1 doesn't have a valid boot signature
how can i fix my /boot partition so that the machine can boot without
the files in the boot or root partitions that originally were part
of this machine?
