Re: [Bug-grub] DAC960 raid controller

Jason I can go through this again I suppose or anyone on list Jason have a DAC960 raid controller working or not working that Jason would like to do some testing. Morning (for me at least :-) Jason, I've currently got an empty machine with a DAC960 which I've just tried to add grub to without success (grub-install cannot find corresponding BIOS device). I haven't a lot of time but am willing over the next few weeks to find some time to look at this. Okay, I can't get through to the archives at the moment so am unsure what the original problem and possible solution was. Can you refresh my memory ?

Booting a floppy image from grub
Hi guys. BeOS's personal distribution comes with a floppy image that you can write to a disk with dd or rawrite. It is this disk that you then use to boot off of. All it does is search your hard drives for the 500mb beos partition file which resides on a vfat/ntfs/ext2 partition, and boots that. It is very annoying - especially with my tiny 1 laptop with no integrated floppy - to have to insert the floppy each time I boot. I was thinking: is there a way in which I could simply drop the floppy.img to my /boot, and have grub boot it somehow? I'm not even sure that this is technically possible. Could somebody give me a hint? :) Thanks a lot guys. Grub is a great bootloader. :) Adam ___ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub

Re: [Bug-grub] Re: my feelings
that would be fine too, that way current users on the list will not need to change.
