Sorry for the catchy ’Subject:’ above, I am not sure at this point whether it is appropriate.
I plan to make extensive changes to a multi-boot environment and I looked in ‘GNU GRUB Manual 1.99~beta0’ for a way to create a CD/DVD that would reflect the state of my grub environment, (including my /boot/grub/menu.cfg) that would let me boot the system as if I was booting from the HD. My understanding is that the correct procedure is described in section 3.2 of the above manual: Making a GRUB bootable CD-ROM. The first step specifies the following: | Copy the file stage2_eltorito: | | $ cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito iso/boot/grub I looked on the ubuntu 10.10 system where my grub environment happens to live and was unable to find any file named ‘stage2_eltorito’ anywhere on the system and definitely not in the above directory. I have just downloaded a tarball of grub-1.99~rc1, and a ‘find’ command on the untarred tree did not return any positives either. Is this file part of another package that complements grub? Is the documentation in the process of being updated? Am I missing something? If the above procedure is not longer current, please let me know how I could create a bootable copy of my current grub environment, preferably on a CD or DVD, so that I could use it as a simple backup solution in the event I am no longer able to boot my systems from the hard drive.
