I tried running lilo (as root) and i get two warnings:
Warning: boot record relocation beyond BPB is necessary: /dev/hda1
Warning: Unable to determine video adapter in use in the present system.
i am not too sure what they are all about. But i suspect that the first one
is the reason that it's not writing to the master boot record.
As for why i am switching to LILO, i have never used GRUB before and i have
been having problems with it. I am more familiar with LILO.
