[Fedora-livecd-list] MBR in livecd

[Gareth]

I need reset raid card before installing a system， and all of progress need
be automatic.

So I need a pxe environment to boot a livecd. In that, auto-script will
reset raid card with different tools installed in livecd.

Further more, a node could response pxe server to change its own grub to
install system on own drive. It's ok, but I want to make this progress more
simple. I think what I want is just a drive, like /dev/sda. All of data in
this drive is in kind of data in livecd, except MBR.

I rsync the file system with its data and fail after reboot. So I'm trying
get to know how to set MBR.
