getting rid of Grub boot loader

[doug@xxxxxxxxxxx (Doug Sutherland)]

To erase entire hard drive:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda
Replace the /dev/hda with your specific drive name (hda, hdb, sda etc).

If you want to only clear the master boot record (including partition 
table):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1
