Quoting Colin D Bennett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
If I create one partition on the CF card, for GRUB, I assume I should
set up my grub.cfg to refer to it as (hd0,1) since this will only be
used on the TARGET SYSTEM, right?
I suggest that you use the current GRUB from CVS and use UUID to refer
to any drives. update-grub will generate the new style grub.cfg, but
be sure to back up your current grub.cfg in case it gets overwritten.
Then on my development workstation I will do:
grub-install /dev/sdc
But will this affect my development workstation's "/boot" ?
I don't think current GRUB will allow you to do that, but if
cross-device installs were supported, it would indeed overwrite
/boot/grub
I want to
install only to my CompactFlash card; is this possible without messing
with my dev machine's filesystem?
Yes, I did it several times.
If I have /dev/sdc1 (the CF card's partition) mounted
at /media/grubtest, can I just do
grub-install --root-directory=/media/grubtest /dev/sdc
Yes, that should work.
In case you are not sure if the system boot was affected, I suggest
that you reinstall grub on your hard drive the way it was installed
before attempting a reboot. Also make the rescue image with
grub-mkrescue, write it to a CD and keep it handy in case you need to
recover anything.
