Hmm, makes me wonder why they use lilo in the installation program for Debian. Anyway, I'm trying to follow the instructions on the page you linked me too. I was able to create a boot floppy but I couldn't get it to boot anything. The first step, fdformat /dev/fd0, worked ok. However, the next step didn't, mjfs -t msdos /dev/fd0. I got the error message, mkfs.msdos: No such file or directory. It then occurred to me that I already have a number of msdos formatted floppies. I grabbed one a went onto the next step. The next few steps are: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy worked. mkdir -p /floppy/boot/grub cp /usr/local/share/grub/i386-pc/stage* /floppy/boot/grub grub grub> root (fd0) grub> setup (fd0) grub> quit These all worked fine. I then rebooted. The grub boot loader came up and displayed a prompt and did nothing else. I typed help read through info about a number of options and commands and tried a few. For everything it typed I got vague error messages about the command not being correct or invalid or something like that. What do I from here? Once I get this figured out and working I assume I can setup the hard drive the same way by using these commands. right? grub grub> root (hdb) grub> setup (hdb) grub> quit Thanks, Scott MacMaster ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin McKinley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 10:23 PM Subject: Re: Problem Booting After Install > On Wed, 28 May 2003 19:07:48 -0400 > "Scott MacMaster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Any other thoughts? > > I have two thoughts. > > First, you guys need to learn to trim posts. :) > > Second, unless there's some reason you enjoy getting beat up by lilo, use > grub: > > http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4622 > > Kevin > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
