Ah, ok, I see now. It looks like the stage1 loader in the MBR prints out the 'GRUB ' part of the message before it starts probing the disk looking for the stage1.5 or stage2 loader. The rest of that line is supposed to be filled in by the stage1.5/stage2. So, apparently we have the same basic problem...neither stage1 nor stage1.5 can pull your stage2 file in. I was really, really, really hoping that was a 'grub> ' prompt! :-( So it look like we have to go back to trying to get the CD booting to work. Copy the /lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito to the boot/grub directory on the ISO image, re-run the mkisofs command we used before, and burn the resulting ISO to a CD. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
