Also check around the website of your hard-drive manufacturer.
When I moved my Western Digital drive from slave (/dev/hdb) to master
(/dev/hda) I was getting the same "L 01 01 01..." when attempting to boot.
They had a simple DOS utility that, when run, created a special
boot-floppy to (re)create the MBR.
As soon as I did that, I was able to boot off an HD again instead of using
that CDROM kludge I posted earlier.
