How do I get right of boot0? Well, you could overwrite boot0 with the "plain" MBR that just boots the first partition on the machine. That's what this laptop does... I know which option that is in 'sysinstall' :) Looks to me like you'd use boot0cfg or diskinstall with /boot/mbr as the boot0 file instead of boot0. However, if you're seeing the 'F1' message, that /is/ boot0. I'd guess that it's boot1 or something later in the sequence that isn't working for you. HTH.
