Hi,
accidentally I damaged a bootloader on my PC i386 machine. I tried to reinstall it
using installboot but it doesn't work. I followed an example provided in the man for installboot and tried to install MBR
Code:
$/usr/mdec/installboot -v /boot wd1
After rebooting I saw instead of a boot prompt a nice sequence of 9A. What am I doing wrong?
