Hi everyone,
I've got a SPARCstation LX which in a previous life had RedHat 5.2 for
SPARC installed on it.
Alas, fool that I am, I also installed SILO on the MBR of the first SCSI
drive.
I've successfully installed NetBSD 1.6.2 onto the box but I can't boot
from the hard drive as SILO insists on taking over.
Does anyone know how I can remove SILO and/or zap the MBR back into a
state where I can boot NetBSD successfully?
Cheers
Gary
