1. make sure you have a lilo boot disk, and verify that it works
2. Install grub software (rpm, tarballs, your choice)
3. Read the 'info grub' files. You could also setup a grub boot
floppy. This is covered in the info files.
4. Now you should create /boot/grub directory and copy all grub
*stage* files to that directory.
5. create /boot/grub/menu.lst. Here's a sample
default 0
timeout 10
title=Gentoo-19-r5-hda2
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.4.19-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda2 hdc=ide-scsi
hdd=ide-scsi ro
title=elx17-hda6
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17 root=/dev/hda6 hdc=ide-scsi ro
title=Win98
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
6. In the following root is the address of the partition with
/boot/grub partition in grub terminology, i.e. hda2 = hd0,1
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
5. Reboot and enjoy
