From: "Volker Augustin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Antw: Re: Antw: Re: Testing grub Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 17:15:59 +0200 > How exactly can this be done? :-) Volker See the description on "device map file" and the command "device" in the manual, for details. I explain only one example. Create a floppy image on GNU/Linux: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy bs=512 count=2880 $ mke2fs floppy $ su # mount -o loop floppy /mnt # mkdir /mnt/boot # cp -a /boot/grub /mnt/boot # umount /mnt Use the image: $ echo '(fd0)' `pwd`/floppy > map $ grub --device-map=map --config-file='(fd0)/boot/grub/menu.lst' There are various ways to do the same thing (e.g. just copy a real floppy to a file). And, it is much more difficult to create a hard disk image from scratch. If you are interested in using a hard disk image, I can explain how to do that, but I'm now very sleepy.
