This is the master boot record contained in the mbr package. If you type '1', it will boot off of /dev/hda1; if you type 'F', off of the floppy (/dev/fd0); if you type 'A', you'll have the option to boot off of any partition on /dev/hda, even those that aren't explicitly flagged as bootable.

How are you trying to configure X? 'xf86config' is a console-mode program that will generate an XF86Config file from the answers to its questions. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
