Yes, that looks good. Within chroot, you can mount /dev/sda1 as /boot and then install GRUB and copy the kernel, config, and System map to the mounted /boot. Remember that in grub.cfg the line will be: linux /linux-kernel-filename root=/dev/sda ro We are in the process of making some changes in this area for svn but you will need the new udev and bootscripts for that. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
