If you still have your Mandrake 9.2 installer disk, you could use it to boot your installation on the hdd, then run grub-install to install it on the root partition, rather than on the mbr. Then it's a simple matter of editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom to add the chainloader Mandrake entry, and run update-grub. If you don't have the Mandrake installer anymore, any good live linux cd with a 2.4 kernel option should let you chroot in. -- ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ Indulekha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
