|
|
Hey,
I have just finsihed installing my Gentoo Linux system, and I am trying to complete the final step - installing grub. Now, please don't laugh at my stupidity, but when I built my computer I forgot to set my hard drive to master...so currently my only hard drive is /dev/hdb. Anyhow, could this propose any problems when installing grub?
I'm using ext3 for my root partition (/dev/hdb7) and ext2 for my boot partition (/dev/hdb5).
when I type:
root (hd0,6)
I receive no errors.
but when I type:
setup (hd0)
I get the following errors:
Checking for /boot/grub/stage1..no
Checking for /grub/stage1..no
Error 15: File not found
Yet when I look at my /boot partition, stage1, and stage2 are both there.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Cyp.

The stage1 and stage2 files are inside your boot partition.
You should do:
grub
>root (hd1,4) /* note (hd1,4) is /dev/hdb5 */
>setup (hd0)
>quit |

Not exactly. As cyphos said, "currently my only hard drive is /dev/hdb". So, the way to go is:
Code: | root (hd0,4)
setup (hd0) |
