REQUIREMENTS
|
|
|
|
PRE-INSTALL
|
|
|
|
POST-INSTALL
|
|
|
|
Automatic setup using grub-install
|
|
|
|
After installation you should 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
|
|
|
|

|
|
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Configuration
|
|
|
|
After making your boot menu you should run grub-install like so:
|
|
|
|
# grub-install /dev/sdX
|
|
|
|
In the example above, X needs to be replaced with your hard drive.
|
|
|
|
Manual setup
|
|
|
|
After installation you need to copy the stage files to /boot/grub/:
|
|
|
|
# cp /usr/share/grub/*/*stage* /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/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Configuration
|
|
|
|
Last but not least, install/enable the boot manager:
|
|
|
|
# # If the boot partition is mounted, you must specify --stage2, like below.
|
|
# # Otherwise, you may remove this.
|
|
# # Run grub
|
|
# grub
|
|
grub> root (hdX,Y)
|
|
grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hdX)
|
|
grub> quit
|
|
|
|
Please correct the path and device names according to 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 modifying the partition table
|
|
or installing a new system kernel. Please create a rescue disk first :)
