Yes, it was as simple as: | $ mkdir /tmp/iso | $ grub-mkrescue -o grub.iso /boot/grub | $ growisofs.... etc. I booted from the DVD but only got a ‘grub > ’ and it took me a good bit of googling to figure out that I needed issue the following command to make the grub menu appear: | grub > configfile /boot.cfg Of course, my setup is very basic, with a flat multi-boot menu, but all the same, I feel that both the procedure to create the boot disk and how to use it when recovering really need to be documented in the new manual: In the event of a mishap, I can just slip in my custom grub rescue disk instead of having to hunt for an install or live CD/DVD and waste time fumbling for the correct grub command syntax to get the machine to boot.. Priceless! Thanks, cj _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
