Does anyone know how to restore a hard drive's partition table. I messed it up, trying to put FreeBSD on hda, with Linux already on hdb. When I run /sbin/lilo to install lilo on hda, I get the message. [root@speedy jkacur]# /sbin/lilo Added linux Added linuxmine * Device 0x0300: Invalid partition table, 1st entry 3D address: 0/0/0 (-1) Linear address: 1/0/0 (0) [root@speedy jkacur]#
Anyone know what to do?

If I recall correctly, you can install FreeBSD both on the entire disk or in a DOS-type partition. It uses a different type of partition table itself. LILO expects a DOS-type partition table, so if you want to use LILO on hda and also have FreeBSD on hda, it is easiest to have FreeBSD inside a partition, and not on the whole disk.
