To all. New to grub. My intention is to double boot to DOS6.x and win2k.
Drive 1, partition 1: linux, 10MB (only to hold stage files and menu) Drive 1, partition 2: fat, 450MB Drive 2, partition 1: hpfs for win2k, 4Gb Created floppy; get to grub> prompt. From here I can boot to (hd0,1) which is DOS, and to (hd1,0) which is win2k (here I do a remap). Works without a hitch. The problem is when I try to boot from drive 1, which es where grub is installed. All I get is GRUB Geom error The geometry printed on the Maxtor 7225AV (old, very old) is c/h/s = 1002/16/52 BUT the one reported by the grub geometry command is drive 0x80: c/h/s = 826/16/63. Is this a clue to the problem or just a result of LBA translation? This are the steps I use to attempt to install grub on disk1: -> using small linux (slackware ZipSlack) copy stage1 and stage2 to /boot/grub/ (partition (hd0,0), (Ext2 type)) Reboot with floppy until the grub> promt is available grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) stage1 exists ... yes stage2 exists ... yes stage1_5 exists ... no Running install "... etc ... /boot/grub/menu.lst" succeded Done grub> reboot Hardware is an old Micron, pentium III I like the idea of using grub for this jub; many thanks in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
