I want to make a grub boot floppy that is completely self-contained up to
the capability to present a prompt and accept and run any grub command (e.g.
setup). I have tried diong this in the past using one of two methods
but what I have found is that although the boot floppy works fine if the
same disk is in hd0 as was there when I created the floppy, if that disks is
not there and some other disk without the relevant stage files (stage 2 is
it?) is there instead, all that happens when I boot the floppy is the single
word
GRUB
appears on the console and then nothing.
I can't remember exactly how I set up the floppy (actually I have two and
think I may have either
run setup (fd0) from a grub prompt while running grub from booting the
disk
from running system: run grub-install /dev/fd0
I know I have tried both of these methods but not sure on which floppies
that I've tried
but I suspect that neither of these makes a completely self-contained boot
floppy.
I am not asking for the final stage of finding a configfile on floppy - I
just want a full grub subcommand environment without requiring to read
anything from anywhere else.
Can someone please tell me how.- preferably both legacy and new grub2 if
different.
John
