Once you're happy with the Etch install, you'll redo the Sarge partition
formatting to use with your new Etch install.
Well, no: once I'm happy with Etch (i.e., I've managed to install everything) I

I think that the MBR is just a name for the first block(s) of
a disk, I don't think its "special" in any way other then being
at the start of the disk.

does SCSI use LBA? I thought that was IDE only..

Is it just LBA=0 on the disk?
Should lilo be installed in MBR or the
