Lilo
I have installed linux.. but it wont boot.. it says: "LI"
and then my computer freezes..
it has worked before..
A couple of days ago, I tried to install OpenBSD.. I used the whole disk for it..
I think it's something with the MBR-settings I made in the OpenBSD installation..
How can I completely reset the MBR to defaults? I've tried fdisk /mbr in dos, but it only removes lilo.. (I get the same error if I try to re-install LILO)
Is it the MBR, or can it be something else? It has worked great before..
Please.. help me

BUGS
This utility was written to install PC-BSD and has seen limited use as an installer for FreeBSD. It's likely that usage to install FreeBSD
will expose edge cases that PC-BSD doesn't, as well as generate feature requests based on unforeseen needs.
