I thought you wanted to put it on a floppy, I have never been game to stuff up my MBR in that way. If the system is presently running windows, and you want a quick fix, your windows 2k/xp cd will give you a fix, or on win 9x/me use the appropriate boot floppy and run fdisk /mbr -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
