Hi
I have two LFS installations, on different partitions, on the same
drive(/dev/sda). I have the older LFS(/dev/sda7) , with grub, booting at
present to the grub menu. I need the new LFS(/dev/sda6) to take over the
booting, so I've installed Grub to this LFS.
Am I right in thinking that I now need to run(from the new LFS):
'grub-install --root-directory=/boot/grub /dev/sda'
to activate, having earlier deleted Grub from the old LFS and copied
the'grub.cfg' file over?
What I recommend is to create a separate partition for /boot. It does
not need to be large. 100 or 200 MB is sufficient. I use ext2 since a
journal is not really needed for a partition that is rarely written.
Then move all your kernels, configs, and System-maps there and mount as
/boot. Enter the partition in in fstab.
Now all your installs can share the same /boot and there is no confusion
about how to share kernels or where grub.cfg is located.
