GRUB also does not handle this situation very well: grub> if test /nonexist; then echo true; else echo false; fi error: unknown command `test'. true As a result, GRUB will always set mfsroot_path="/boot/gtk/mfsroot.gz" and create menu entries for the graphical installer. Another problem, is that the $mfsroot_path variable is not evaluated/expanded at the time the menu entry is created. Instead, whatever value was *last* set for mfsroot_path, is the one that gets used, whichever entry is chosen. Going to the GRUB command line first and executing: grub> set mfsroot_path="/boot/mfsroot.gz" will allow the installer to boot.
