Take a look at the grub info file. Mainly you have to do this: Install the debian grub package and setup /boot/grub/menu.lst properly (as in the floppy disk). Run 'grub' from command line and issue: root (hd0,0) find /boot/grub/stage1 (do this if you don't know which is the root partition containing stage1) setup (hd0) (to install on MBR) setup (hd0,0) (to install on the partition) Hope this helps > > Thanks, > > Matthew > > -- > Rapun.sel - outermost outpost of the Pick Empire > http://www.pick.ucam.org -- Juli-Manel Merino Vidal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------------------- Become a GNU!
