In preparation for making LFS bootable, I switched from LILO to GRUB in my host system. That means, I think, that GRUB is already in the MBR. (OT--That's one of the things that Mandrake hides from the user-- what is actually what's going on and is one reason why I'm switching to LFS.) Based on what I've learned from the GRUB Manual and the hints, I think that the only thing I need to do is put the appropriate statements in /boot/grub/menu.lst in EACH distro. The "power" lines would be:
title LFS 6.0 root (hd1, 4) kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.8.1 root=/dev/hdb1
title Mandrake root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.8.1-1-1mdk
title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
I would have identical entries in each /boot/grub/menu.lst file for both Mandrake and LFS. This would be done without running <setup>.
Is my logic correct? (Have I begun to learn GRUB :)?
Any comments or redirection to documentation would be helpful.
Thanks,
Dan
