Default Grub / LILO

Right, can somebody tell me where I'm going horribly wrong? I've done a
slack 9.1 install on my system, a complete fresh install. Once the install
is complete I reboot the system and all I get appear is the word Grub, any
thoughts?

Thanks,

Rob.

You didn't setup lilo on MBR and it's displaying a previous grub setup??
Hopefully you've made a boot floppy? Use that to boot and redo the lilo
setup from pkgtool.

Del,

I set it up in / rather than the MBR, though I might do a rebuild and try
that!

Thanks,

Rob.

Done a re-install with LILO installed in the MBR and it now works.

Thanks,

Rob.
