Grub has an interactive command-line, so if you screw the configuration up you can always boot by hand. > Is there some good GRUB documentation? (Especially on getting it to > boot Linux relatively painlessly). "info grub" Here's what I do (from menu.lst): title=Debian GNU/Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.0-test10 root=/dev/hda4 title=Debian GNU/Hurd root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=hd0s7 module /boot/serverboot.gz To boot Linux at a Grub command-line, if you end up in that situation, you just have to enter the "root" and "kernel" commands (adjusting for your system, of course), then type "boot". What you might want to start with, though (since you don't have a working floppy drive and there's an off-chance that Grub might not boot, although I don't know why not), is installing Grub somewhere besides the MBR, and chainloading it with Lilo. If it works, you can stick it in the MBR.
