thank you very much for your hint. The device-map shows that /dev/sda corresponds to hd1. invoking grub> root (hd1,4) grub> setup (hd1) grub> quit does now the job. However, when rebooting the PC from the external disk, the boot procedure stops after a message "grub loading stage2" with the prompt "grub>". That is all. stage1 and 2 are in /dev/sda5/grub, as well as menu.lst Could stage1 and 2 be wrong ? I copied them from my original /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/ Edgar --------------------- Dr.-Ing.
