Dummy · Guest

I've compiled second kernel and would like to add it to GRUB menu as alternative. Could you please advise how to do that. Thank you.

The problem is that I cannot find grub.conf anymore.
/boot is empty.
When I load system grub is in MBR and it works, but I cannot find it's configuration file in /boot/grub/grub.conf anymore.
/boot does not have any files

???

By default the /boot partition is not mounted for safety reasons, you have to mount it yourself before you can edit the grub files.
