hm

root@pbx /usr/src/asterisk># sfdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 38792 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 516096 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System

/dev/hda8 19335+ 38791 19457- 9806296+ 83 Linux

just lists the table

but - it works, but I need to boot off a floppy, and I really don't want to
start over reinstalling this.

any ideas how I can make LILO/GRUB work with this?
