Help!
I've accidently ovewritten my MBR & when I try to boot, I get 'Invalid
Partition Table'.
Booting from a floppy & running sysinstall, I can see the bsd partition
in fdisk & the various slices in the disk labler, but there are no mount
points shown for the slices (except /swap).
Is there any way I can rescue my disk?

Cheers,
Ian Moore
