This isn't a bug, but I'm hoping that someone can help me. I've read quite a few grub installation instructions, and I just don't get it. The biggest disadvantage of grub, IMHO, is that you need to be a rocket scientist to make it work!
I currently have grub installed on floppy including a menu.lst, but my attempts to get installed to disk are incomplete. Here's my setup (all IDE, no SCSI). The primary ide has cdroms (master and slave); the secondary ide has disks (master and slave) which grub sees as hd0 & hd1, since the CDROMs don't count. hd0 has Win98 on the first partition (ie hd0,0) hd0 has another windows (vfat) disk on the second partition (ie hd0,1) hd0 has an extended partition and other stuff (currently not used and nothing bootable) hd1 has three primary partitions hd1,0 is a FreeBSD partition (hd1,a is bootable) hd1,1 is a linux swap partition hd1,2 is a linux partition (bootable) I'm able to boot all three (Win98, FreeBSD, and linux from the floppy). I have a copy of all the /boot/grub stuff including the menu.lst on the Win98 partition and on the linux partition. I've managed to get grub installed to the mbr, but I can't get it to find the menu.lst. I have to key in the root, kernel, etc. manually when booting from the hard drive. How can I get grub reinstalled to utilize the menu.lst in the Win98 partition (This is permanent; other partitions could be overwritten at any time)? The grub software is installed both on linux and FreeBSD - 0.90 version.
