how about "lilo -u"



I would encourage anyone who has not used grub before to create a grub floppy first:


0. emerge grub if not already done.
1. Format a floppy (ext2 or even vfat)
2. mount the floppy
3. mkdir /mnt/floppy/boot
4. mkdir /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
5. copy all the *stage* files from wherever_grub_lives to /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
6. edit file /mnt/floppy/boot/grub/grub.conf with valid contents
7. grub
8. root (fd0)
9. setup fd0
10. quit
11 reboot from floppy. If not successful, edit the grub.conf and try again.


Damn good advice Collins, this sure could save a lot of grief and probably bandwidth:)
