stupid coldfire .. doesn't know what he's talking about .. for this part,
ignore what i said .. rather, do the whole boot with a DOS disk and type
'fdisk /mbr' to nuke the MBR. then just install LILO to the superblock of
the linux partition and flag that partition bootable. install lilo like
normal and see how well that goes. :)
