the fact that the live-boot doesn't work is sort of well-known.
sorry about that.
i don't know why your mbr is getting wacked. that's antisocial.
i never dual-boot myself.
i'll try to look at it this weekend. it's probablly as thiery points out
that we're trying to overlay some chs crap onto a massive sata drive.
can you send me the output of cat /dev/sd*/ctl when you get a chance?
also, could you send me a fdisk summary of what the partition table
looks like? a raw dump of the first 16 sectors of the drive would be
even better.
