When Grub2 installs the boot sector portion of the boot loader into the MBR, it does that on the raw device (such as /dev/sda), not a filesystem. When it installs the /rest/ of Grub2 -- the configuration, modules, etc -- that's done on a mounted filesystem. -- -- Chris Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College Dec 5 - Sysadmin Panel Jan 9 - High Performance Computing Feb 6 - February Meeting
