Solution: I too found this problem in my 9.10 install, so I did a little bit of digging.
It seems that someone has renamed "menu.lst" with "grub.cfg". At least they kept grub.cfg in the same directory (/boot/grub). So, if you're following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/switching/dualboot-custom.html#dualboot-custom-bootorder Then, just use "grub.cfg" whereever you would have used "menu.lst". For my config: default = 0 --> boot my new Ubuntu install default = 1 --> boot Ubuntu in safe/recover mode default = 2 --> memory test default = 3 --> another memory test default = 4 --> my pre-existing Windows install (XP, Vista, ...) As of Nov 11, 2009, the above "help" link was still listing "menu.lst" as the file to edit. Can someone on the Documentation Team edit this? -- To configure a dual boot, you need to edit the menu.lst from the grub. this file is missing in Ubuntu 9.10. is there any other way to configure the boot menu?? i tried the steps mentioned in the documentation to configure n change the default oprating system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
