Update: Am I correct in concluding that the MBR loading process is failing? I can get my grub menu up by booting from a floppy and then typing the following: grub> rootnoverify (hd0,0) grub> chainloader +1 grub> boot Once I do that I get the normal boot menu, and all is well. (By the way, just before doing this, I installed grub on both (hd0) and (hd0,0) so that I could do this experiment. It seems that you can't use chainloader +1 on (hd0) - only (hd0,0)) Regards, Thomas _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
