I'm having trouble installing GRUB 0.92 on my system consisting of 1 scsi and 2 ide drives. GRUB should be installed on the first (and only) scsi drive. I did as recommended:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 hd(2,0) grub> root (hd2,0) ... filesystem is ext2 ... grub> setup (hd2) ... installing ... However, when I reboot the computer I simply get "GRUB Hard Disk Error". :-( As a temporary workaround I removed the ide drives from my computer and did it again: grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 hd(0,0) grub> root (hd0,0) ... filesystem is ext2 ... grub> setup (hd0) ... installing ... Then everything worked! Please recognize, that it's now hd0, instead of hd2. I guess the problem is the mapping between bios drives and real hard drives (hd2 vs. hd0). I tried HDBIAS "2" as an additional parameter to "root" but did not succeed. My questions are: Is there any way to install grub without removing the ide drives? What is the right bios name? What is HDBIAS? How do I find out the mapping between bios and linux?
