ummm... well, you guys sureh ave been busy while I was away...
I'm afraid Mike's right -- doubtless this wwas clearer to him than to alvin b/c he was helping me out in an earlier, similar thread. I am trying to duplicate these disks and make them bootable. Here's the situation: about 25 machines, which will be running Ubuntu. non-identical, old disks which likely have bad sectors (so don't want to dd if=/dev/hde of=/dev/hdf or similar). so then, question is: how to run grub, preferably non-interactively, in such a way that it actually works (which I guess means, in such a way that it finds the stage2 file in /boot/grub). Still not knowing exactly what I'm doing, I've tried various methods thus far with no luck, and am not sure how to proceed... sitll thanks everyone for your efforts! m
