Follow-up: Execute a shell: root file system is a RAM disk, ash, nano, hdd is (not) on /target Mounting the hdd: mkdir /target settrans -a /target /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hd0s1 chroot /target ls: looks OK! Installing grub: grub-install /dev/hd0 Illegal instruction update-grub Killed Can I reboot, I doubt it?? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
