subject: unable to install GRUB on floppy
I have been trying to install GRUB on a floppy
using the instructions found via info grub
provided on my Mandrake 7.2 distro.
---------------------------------------------
In one place the instructions are:
$ mke2fs /dev/fd0
mount it, say at /mnt (I used new dir /grubmnt)
copy stage1,stage2,menu.lst to /grubmnt/boot/grub
run command:
$ sbin/grub --batch <<EOT (I had to use /usr/sbin/grub)
root (fd0)
setup (fd0)
quit
EOT
When I do this, processing stops at attempt to do 'setup'
with error 'file not found'.
-----------------------------------------------
In another place the instructions say:
# cd /boot/grub
# dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
# dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
This seems to complete and make the floppy,
however when I try to boot with it
I just get:
stage1 stage2 Read error
---------------------------------------
Any suggestions would be welcome.
