Hi,
I am reporting some difficulty I had using the "geometry (fd0)"
command.
Using the "geometry (fd0)" command under the grub shell, I get the
following output,
GRUB version 0.5.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first
word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere
else TAB lists the possible completions of a
device/filename. ]
grub> geometry (fd0)
drive 0x0: C/H/S = 80/2/18, The number of sectors = 2880, /dev/fd0
Error 25: Disk read error
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x4f
Error 22: No such partition
while under the stand-alone grub, I get this similar output,
grub> geometry (fd0)
drive 0x0: C/H/S = 80/2/18, The number of sectors = 2880, CHS
Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x4f
Error 22: No such partition
It seems that grub is expecting to find an (hd0)-like partition
table on (fd0), which of course doesn't have one.
Thanks,
