REQUIREMENTS PRE-INSTALL POST-INSTALL After installation you need to copy the stage files to /boot/grub/: # cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/* /boot/grub/ (Of course, you can choose another location as described above but this guide assumes that you use /boot/grub. Normally you need only the files stage1 and stage2 - please read the grub documentation if you don't know why. http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html) Now it's time to create your own "boot menu": # # Copy sample file # cp /boot/grub/grub.conf.sample /boot/grub/grub.conf # # Modify it for your system # vi /boot/grub/grub.conf For more information about setting up your own grub boot menu file: http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub-0.92/html_mono/grub.html#Configuration Last but not least - install/enable the bootmanager: # # Run grub # grub grub> root (hdX,Y) grub> setup (hdX) grub> quit Please correct the path & device names according your configuration. Also see http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Installation. In the example above, X and Y need to be replaced with your hard drive and grub partition. That's all. Good luck ;) PRECAUTION Installing a new boot manager is like modifiying the partition table or installing a new system kernel. Please create a rescue disk first :) This is a heavily patched version of grub - Use it at your own risk ! Matt Housh
