mbr and boot question

[Jim Conner]

I remember setups like this from the eD2.4(or was it 2.3) days.  I had one.  
Please note:  To remove Boot Magic, you _have_ to use the tool in Windows.  
Using fdisk /mbr or similar will not remove it from the boot sector, but just 
mess it up.  I'm not exactly sure of the answer to your question, but I'll 
echo Ben by saying be careful.  Have a boot disk handy.  Make sure it works.  
Those that run multiple OS's here can probably correct me if I'm wrong, but 
couldn't you just have lilo written to /dev/sda's mbr and have that control 
access to all OS's without having lilo written to each drive?
