while getting ready to build a raid 1 array, i accidentally deleted 
the /boot files. the partition is still there however and is still 
flagged as boot partition.

although i have a boot floppy for this machine, i could not retrieve 
a backup of the /boot partition from another hard disk i have. in 
a novice attempt to resolve this, i copied the /boot partition from 
another machine and reboot.  upon rebooting w/ the boot floppy, i 
ran lilo to try to rebuild the MBR. lilo complains:

> Added Linux *
> Skipping /vmlinux.old
> Fatal: First sector of /dev/hda1 doesn't have a valid boot signature


how can i fix my /boot partition so that the machine can boot without 
the files in the boot or root partitions that originally were part 
of this machine?
