I was wondering how hard it is to remove/replace the mbr package. We have a single system running hamm, for which we want to disable the capability of booting from a diskette. Currently we've disabled floppy-boot in the BIOS, and configured LILO to require a password (only if kernel-options are specified at it's prompt). However, it seems that mbr still provides the capability for a diskette boot... if I tap the shift key just before the LILO prompt would appear, I see the prompt "1FA:" - pressing "f" then causes a boot from floppy.
I'm afraid that using dpkg to force it's removal would break the system, as dselect shows it to be a required component (and lilo appears to be making use of it). Any suggestions?
