looking at your scribbles, I noticed that one of your current beefs is that you need to type in a lot to get grub to do its thing. But that's not how it's suppposed to be:) You could do better and install grub on a flop instead of merely dd-ing it to it, like (on a debian system): # superformat --superverify /dev/fd0 hd # dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 # mke2fs /dev/fd0 # mount /floppy # mkdir -p /floppy/boot/grub # cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage{1,2} /floppy/boot/grub # cat >/flop py/boot/grub/menu.lst <<EOFmenu timeout 15 default 0 title The Hurd root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=hd2s1 -s module=/boot/serverboot.gz EOFmenu Now you'll have a grub bootflop, complete with filesystem and menu. I'm definitely interested in haw you fare, so keep us posted:) -- groetjes, carel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
