Hi.
I've just bought 6 DVD's (sources and binaries) of Debian Etch Official, but
don't manage to install the GRUB boot loader to /dev/hda8, or to /dev/hda7, as
I want. It gives me error message. I've done it hundreds of times with Sarge,
with never problems: why does this happen now? I don't want the installation to
take place to the master boot record because I want to experiment the new
Debian version in another partition of my HD, but, as I said, this procedure
was always perfectly successful the other times.
Any explanation/remedy?
You need to use the expert or expert-gui install method, these will
allow you to select which partition to install GRUB to. Are you
making sure to set the bootable flag during the partitioning?
