I too ran into this sort of problem, so I'm booting
with a GRUB boot diskette (so it's not as slow as
having
the entire kernel on the diskette, only GRUB). The
GRUB
manual describes how to do this:
1. cd /usr/share/grub/i386-pc
dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
2. Now boot with the floopy and at the grub prompt
type these 3 commands:
root (hd0,4)
[Hopefully that works for /dev/hda5, you may
need to play with that a little; also try
find vmlinuz]
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda8
boot
Note that RH8.0 has stage1/stage2 files in /boot/grub
but these don't work; not sure what their purpose is.
I'd like to use the NT bootloader to boot linux. With
LILO I could just copy the Linux boot sector to
C:\bootsect.lnx and add an entry to C:\boot.ini.
If anyone knows how to do this with Grub, I'd
appreciate
the info. Thanks.
