Make yourself a grub-disk floppy. The image is in the debian grub-disk package. If that won't boot you to a grub menu then there is a big problem. Follow the installation-manual's prep to make a hd-media USB stick (assuming the box will boot USB sticks). It uses syslinux bootloader (same as the floppy I think). If it won't boot then you also have a problem. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
