Hello everybody,
I have a typical dual-boot system: /dev/hda contains
WinXP, /dev/hdb, gentoo. I had to swap out my linux
drive with another (NTFS) drive. Since nothing would
boot(grub error 17) I used a Win98 CD to get to a
prompt and entered fdisk /mbr, thinking to reboot
linux later from the livecd, mount the partitions,
swapon, chroot etc as per the Gentoo-FAQ and enter
grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda.
But I got:
Could not find device for /boot/boot: Not found or not
a block device
Why is it looking for /boot/boot? Attempts to use
tomsrtbt and bare.i led to a kernel panic whatever
partition I tried to boot. Nothing seems amiss in
/boot that I can see. Any ideas?
