Subject: Getting "Block 0 not valid boot block" error

    Hi,

    I'm installing SuSE6.3 AXP on a AS200. I did the install
    and then let YaST reboot but it says that block 0 on my hard
    drive does not have a valid boot block.

    I think I might have the answer but I'm not sure if it will
    work: The manual says the "block size" for / and /boot must
    be set to 1024. I need to try this next but, if someone
    else has any other ideas please let me know. I will assume
    the "inode" setting does NOT have to be set to 1024 too??

    PS What does the "i" option -install bootstrap- (fdisk BSD
    menu) do and if I need to run some sort of bootstrap install
    then what commands do I issue.

    Thanks!
    jrh
