Well, you could overwrite boot0 with the "plain" MBR that just boots the 
first partition on the machine. That's what this laptop does...

I know which option that is in 'sysinstall' :)

Looks to me like you'd use boot0cfg or diskinstall with /boot/mbr as the 
boot0 file instead of boot0.

However, if you're seeing the 'F1' message, that /is/ boot0. I'd guess 
that it's boot1 or something later in the sequence that isn't working 
for you.

HTH.
