I have a running system with hd(0,0) as my current partition. Now I have a
backup harddisk as (hd1,0) which I want to make bootable. I made it by
booting from floppy disk and then setup'ing it to the harddisc, but this
is not nice and esp. not a solution for a server I don't want to shutdown but
want have a *bootable* backup disk in.
I have an ext2 filesystem on the backup disk and a /boot/grub directory,
I copied from my master disk. I tried the following commands from grub all
without success:
root (hd1,0)
=> the string "GRUB" and then the system stands
install (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/m
install (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/me
=> "file not found" when trying in the grub shell
install (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/me
install (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/me
=> I did "setup (hd1)" or "setup --force-lba (hd1)" and get "GRUB hard disk error"
embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)
install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd1) (hd1)1+16 p (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/gru
(the last word was the menu file, cut&paste cut it)
Any hints? With root and setup it looked so damn easily...
bye,
