nope. there's partition boot records, then there's the MASTER boot
record. the mbr lives on /dev/hda, independant of the partition table.
to install on the mbr, you do setup(hdX).
to install on a partition, you do setup(hdX,Y).
from my experience, it's best to just put grub on the MBR and have grub
chainload any of your other OSes (it does this very well for dos
(95/98/ME) and nt (nt4/2k/xp)). what other things are you booting with
SC7?
good luck,
