Hello all, I have the following question (short): Is it possible to boot an installed (Debian) Linux (root partition resides on /dev/hdb2) from the second disk by GRUB?
Long: I have three disk in my newly built machine. -- on the first (hda, or hd0), a WinNT is installed (I did it from boot floppies) -- on the second (hdb or hd1), a Debian 2.2r5 is installed (from CD), with root partition in /dev/hdb2 -- I want to install Win98 to the third (hdc or hd2). Is it possible to start all OSes just by setting the boot sequence in BIOS (I mean, I can set boot from HDD-0, HDD-1 etc.) ? For complete safety I want the first disk's MBR untouched. How shall I install GRUB to place it's stage1 to (hd1) ? I tried the following install command: grub> root (hd1,1) grub> install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd1) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst grub> quit After that, and setting BIOS to boot from HDD-1 (second disk), the system stops after Power-On-Self-Test. However, from floppy I can boot everything from everywhere (Linux from /dev/hdb2, WinNT from /dev/hda): grub> root (hd1,1) grub> install /boot/grub/stage1 d (fd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst grub> quit Tamas Heri. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
