0) I've been playing with GRUB 1.91. Not wanting to risk my MBR I put GRUB 1.91 into the boot sector of a partition (hd0,2 actually).
1) Both these commands (entered at the GRUB 0.95 command line) will get me the GRUB 1.91 prompt : - kernel (hd0,2)/boot/grub/core.img boot - chainload (hd0,2)+1 boot Am I correct in thinking these commands are essentially the same now? GRUB2 seems to launch identically with both commands. Or are there side effects I have overlooked? 2) If there are no (serious) side effects, would it be an idea to add an "--no-boot" option to grub-setup? This option should then ensure that no boot sectors will be changed so the only the effect of grub-setup would be some (small but important) changes to a (specified or default) core.img. This should make it somewhat safer to try GRUB2 (as MBR and boot sectors will be left unchanged) without risking your current setup, shouldn't it?
