Hi -- Please excuse the intrusion. I've been playing around with placing grub in a separate boot partition and I've encountered numerous problems. There seems to be an FAQ directly on point which offers 3 solutions. None of the solutions work for me and I'm not sure that I would expect either of the first two to work. The third solution seems to offer the most promise. I've gotten it to work partially using syntax significantly different than the example. The syntax I have used that seems to work partially is as follows:
install (hd0,0)/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0,0)/grub/stage2 p (hd0,0)/grub/menu.lst The above installs. It produces a boot-time menu as expected. However, upon selecting an image to boot from the menu the boot process bombs complaining of inability to find init. My knee- jerk reaction to that complaint would be that the root file system is not getting mounted properly. I've checked and double checked my menu.lst file and I correctly specify the root file system as: root (hd0,5) It appears that the menu.lst file is being read because I can change the time out values and the change is seen and also the kernel is found from its location specified in that file. So, I'm not sure if this is a bug or the idiot behind the keyboard. I do know that one of my reasons for wanting to shift to grub is to better handle booting from a separate boot partition. So, if it's not a bug, please excuse the report. It just isn't working for me. Thanks. ... doug _____________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.footech.com Don't bogart that file, my friend.
