The DFSee display now looks exactly as it should. Unfotunately, the system doesn't boot. Instead of Boot Manager, I see a persistent black screen.
The usual DFSee display doesn't show the MBR code. You must ask for it explicitly. Ctrl-B will do that if done immediately after starting
Thank you for this material.
Ctrl-B brought up the relevant page. Unfortunately, new computers have narrow screens vertically, so I can see only from 000D0 down, well after the boot code. Beginning at 00FA, however, there is a remark: "Bad part-tables!", then "Error loading OS" and "OpSys not found!". No great surprise that it doesn't boot. =;-/8
Nonononono. Those are the messages that the "booter" can print if there is a problem, a different short message for each problem the designer considered. It does not mean at all that you have (or not) any of those problems. This would be the method to do that in linux - in my case, the mbr contains grub specific code: # dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr count=512 bs=1 512+0 records in 512+0 records out 512 bytes (512 B) copied, 0.00280838 s, 182 kB/s # hexdump -C mbr ... 00000180 fe 47 52 55 42 20 00 47 65 6f 6d 00 48 61 72 64 |.GRUB .Geom.Hard| 00000190 20 44 69 73 6b 00 52 65 61 64 00 20 45 72 72 6f | Disk.Read.
