I plan to create a multiboot system with several versions of Windows and also 2 or 3 Linux distros, Solaris, and FreeBSD. The first partition on HD0 will be for a DOS v7.10 rescue os formatted FAT32. I want to have DOS here because I am very familiar with it and I have a lot of tools that work in DOS. This DOS will be used strictly for utility purposes like image & restore, file recovery, etc. I would like also to store my GRUB stage_1.5 and stage_2 here with stage_1 in the MBR. By having the GRUB program files in "\boot" on the DOS partition, in the event of total system failure I can restore track0 and the DOS partition in just a few minutes and have GRUB back and all my disk editing tools at hand.
The GRUB manual indicates that it is flexible about where to install the Stage_1.5 and Stage_2 files, but does not give any specific examples for non-Linux filesystems. I would prefer to install GRUB using the Knoppix Live CD? This would work best because I would like to get GRUB and Windows going quickly before I get into the Linux installs. I'm using GRUB for Windows now and have read the GRUB manual a few times, but it is not installed to the MBR. I have limited Linux experience (used Knoppix a few times) and some limited experience on various UNIX's. How can I install the GRUB program to "hda1" using Knoppix given that it will be formatted FAT32. Thanks in advance for helping. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-Do-I-Install-GRUB-Program-Files-to-FAT32-Partition-tf2368587.html#a6598349 Sent from the Grub - Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
