I have partition as under in my pc :- Windows XP in hda1(C:)(FAT32), Storage in hda3(D:)(FAT32), Windows ME in hda4(E:)(FAT32), Linux /boot in hda7, Linux in hda8, swap partion in hda9.
For booting into Windows XP and ME, I have option to edit boot.ini and select between two. But to boot into Linux I need linux bootdisk as I have no bootloader(GRUB or LILO) installed. Now I want to have option during normal boot for XP, ME and Linux. Some told me to do this :- 1. Run the following command (e.g. assuming /boot is /dev/hda7): grub-install /dev/hda7 2. Run the following command: dd if=/dev/hda7 of=/mnt/hda1/linux.bin bs=512 count=1 3. Run and enter with notepad C:\boot.ini. Add the following line at the last row : c:\linux.bin="Linux" . 4. Reboot and select the ``Linux'' option for linux boot and thats all. After doing above, I found that when i select linux in boot menu it does boot into linux only to show Grub Version 0.92 (639K lower/260032K memory) [Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB list commands completion. Anywhere lese TAB lists the possible completion of a device/filename] grub>_ Please someone help/tell me what to do next at that grub prompt.if I type `boot' and enter, it gives message error 8 : linux kernel must be loaded first.
