REQUIREMENTS
PRE-INSTALL
POST-INSTALL
After installation you have to copy the grub boot imagefiles 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> install (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2
[wordwrap] p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst
grub> quit
Please correct the path & device names according your configuration.

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 !
