If you mean the /boot/grub directory, then no (unless you want to go back and try lilo again...). The /boot/grub directory _should_ exist, it is just that if /boot is a separate filesystem, grub should find the files at "/grub", not "/boot/grub". There is definitely something strange going on here. When you did the listing of the directory, are you _sure_ you had /dev/hda2 mounted on /boot, and were not looking at the contents of /boot on the root filesystem? > Also, what, if any, is the >connection between "install" mentioned in grub setup >and grub-install, the command.

There is no need to run grub-install if you know how to use the grub command line. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
