    Hi list,

    I know the command how to restore the MBR ('fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0
    ad0), but know this stupid question of mine (Windows has overwritten
    the old MBR with its own): How do I manage to get to a working prompt
    with at least some useful commands such as 'mount' available? I tried
    the fixit shell from my 5.4-bootonly disk but that didn't help me
    very much. :/

    Please help! :)
