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/menu.lst.sample /boot/grub/menu.lst
# # Modify it for your system
# vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
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
using fdisk - or installing a new system kernel. Please create a rescue
boot disk first :)
This is a heavy patched version of grub - Use it on your own risk !
