I'm trying to install HURD on my Linux box (actually a
Red-Hat 6.1 box).
I've follwed the "tarball way":
1) add a slave disk to the pc
2) make 1G partition (/dev/hdb1) and make ext2
partiton
3) untar/unzip gnu_20000301.tar.gz in the new
partition
4) get grub_19990310.tar.gz
5) untar/unzip and compile grub
6) make a bootable floppy ->
dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 count=1 (bs =512 seems
not work, because block size is 1024)
dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 seek=1
7) boot from floppy and try to load configuration file
The problem is :
GRUB don't recognize the slave HD.
grub> root (hd1,0)
Selected disk does not exist
Note that the BIOS autodetects both the primary
master and the primary slave drive.
TECH INFO:
BIOS : AMIBIOS SETUP UTILITY v. 1.19
Type Size Cyl Head
PRI Master User 1624 3146 16
PRI Slave User 8456 16383 16
It seems that the BIOS date is 07/15/95.
Someone can help me ?
Thanks a lot
P. Pulicani
