I have 2 IDE drives laid out as follows:
1 (master) - 80GB with FreeBSD occupying entire drive 2 (slave) - 80GB with 4 linux distros hdb1- Fedora Core 3 / hdb2 - Fedora Core 3 /home hdb3 - swap hdb4 - ***EXTENDED PARTITION*** hdb5 - SUSE 9.2 / hdb6 - SUSE 9.2 /home hdb7 - Mandrake 10.2 / hdb8 - Mandrake 10.2 /home hdb9 - Arch 0.7 / hdb10 - Arch 0.7 /home
When I installed the Linux distros I chose not to install a boot loader for any of them (thinking that a bootmanager like GAG would handle this). In retrospect, this may have been a conceptual error as GAG would error with "Boot sector not found or corrupt" for these partitions. On the advice of someone on the Fedora User's list, I booted the Fedora CD in rescue mode and:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# /sbin/grub-install /dev/hdb1
When I rebooted with GAG and set it to boot Fedora using hdb1, it now gives me a 'grub>' prompt.
How can I recover this and get Fedora to boot beyond this? I'm hoping luck with this will enable me to do the same for the other Linux distros. If there are any other suggestions on this, I'm certainly open to them as well.
Thanks. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
