I tried several times to create a GRUB floppy as it is explained in the
GRUB Manual in Section 3.1:
>From the current cvs I created the floppy after doing the
./configure ; make
with the following commands:
# dd if=stage1/stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
# dd if=stage2/stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
188+1 records in
188+1 records out
#
but this floppy does not boot into GRUBs command mode.
I successfully created a VFAT GRUB floppy by copying
stage1/stage1, stage2/stage2, and stage2/*1_5 to
(fd0)/boot/grub and using an installed (older) GRUB
with
root (fd0)
setup (fd0)
What am I doing wrong ? Or is there a subtle bug in
the default stage1 or stage2 files (I have the
impression but cannot prove it that the floppy
immediately redirects to/chainloads the GRUB installed
on (hd0,0)
