[PLUG] fdisk /MBR in linux?

["W. Chris Shank" <chris.shank@acetechgroup.com>]

Anyone know what the linux equivalent of that is?

I just added a new scsi device to a box that has 3 scsi disks in a sw
raid config. + 2 IDE disks on an external IDE controller (one of these
is the boot disk). In order to add the device, I had to change the
controller with one that had a 50 pin interface. However, this
controller is bootable- where the other one was not. One of the scsi
disks had at one time been the boot drive for a linux system, so I
suspected that the the boot flags were active on the scsi disks. I
toggled them - but still it won't boot from IDE drives. So now I think
there might be residual boot loader stuff in the MBR.

Is there any way to get this controller to ignore the disks as bootable
drives? or should i just buy an adapter and use the old controller? It's
an AHA-2940 controller.

Thanks
