I don't have anything important on the disk either (are MP3s
critical... ;-) Actually, I have a minimal root partition
anyway, about 60M.
When I first tried to manually boot Debian via GRUB command line
I did get VFS error with the root partition. After reinstalling
LILO in the MBR and in the first sector of the root partition it
came back to life. I do not get any VFS or fsck errors, and all
the data appears to be there. Should I trust its OK or reinstall
the root partition anyway?
I have Win98 on hda1 (wifes ;-), Debian on hda2-hda10. The root
partition is on hda2. Win98 also seems to be OK, did embed limit
its fun to the MBR and the 1st sector of the root partion (hda2)?
In other words, do you think the 1st partion, hda1, was untouched?

OK. Although, I'm happy to help test GRUB. I have a pretty vanilla
setup, 2 8.4G IDE disks, and a 540M IDE on another machine. I'm just
starting to study the code, so hopefully I will be more useful in that
regard next time.
By the way, GRUB is very nice, thanks to everyone who has been involved
with its creation and evolution. :-)
