Well, I don't yet know, as I've not been able to build a bootable floppy image. This is 1.98, installed with --prefix=/usr/grub2 to avoid clashing with my production grub1 and I try this /usr/grub2/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/dkt fd0 where I created a device map: cat /mnt/dkt/boot/device.map (fd0) /dev/sdc but the grub_install fails and a bash -x of it reveals, near the end, /usr/grub2/sbin/grub-setup --directory=/mnt/dkt/boot/grub --device-map=/mnt/dkt/boot/grub/device.map fd0 Invalid device `fd0'. I copied my grub_install command exactly (other than the explicit path of the script) from the one shown in http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall.html#Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall In particular the device name of fd0. Also the bash -x trace shows that elsewhere in the grub_install script, it did use my devicemap and did map fd0 to /dev/sdc (and in fact built a lot of files on the diskette). But not bootable! Can anyone help me build the bootable floppy? Or does it have to be a CD? Or is there some other way I can try out your suggestion? > Do you get access to the PXE filesystem? > I think you can even specify the tftp server to use by ...
