I have a multi-boot configuration and installed (DVD/x86) 11.1 RC1 into a
custom partition (dev/sda12), made sure install into root (/dev/dsa12) was only
one ticked, confirmed when it returned to the installation selection summary.
But it trashed my MBR. Much later, when rebooting the PC, it just went to a
blinking cursor on a black screen after POST.
Fortunately, I've been stung before by events like this so I had taken a backup
of my MBR beforehand, and it was simple to restore and then use Bootpart to put
the 11.0 entry into the NTloader boot.ini file on the C: (DOS, fat16) partition
of the drive. If you want my SMolt, I'll give it. More detail, and my
generally unfavourable experiences, are here:
