Setting the master boot record(s)
I am reinstalling OS/2 Warp 4 over on top of 2.1. This is a clean
install. It seems that the installation doesn't install a new master
boot record and so having had Linux on the HD at one time, during the
install process the OS/2 install reboots. When it does, Lilo the boot
loader tries to start. This is why I want to get a new boot records in
place. But the question is how? Seems that FDISK doesn't have the /MBR
option.
Thanks!

Thanks! I didn't see that as an option, but will give it a go tomorrow.
