I am trying to get a systemrescueCD loaded onto a hard disk, so I can boot from the HDD raher than the CD, and so that I can make some chages which persist between reboots.
In order to do this I have followed a guide, but basically, formatted the hdd, copied some kernel files across and installed grub legacy. Also created a grub.conf in (hd0.0)/boot/grub/grub.conf
Thee problem is the grub does not appear to be finding the grub.conf because when I boot I get to the grub command prompt, rather than the option to boot the OS, yet if I manually invoke the grub.conf with the command configfile (hd0,0)/boot/grub/grub.conf the system loads. So I am conlcuding the problem lies with the grubloader not finding the grub.conf?
Anyone able to help me resolve this please? I am new at grub and this is about the limit of my knowledge with it.
The guide I have been following is located @ http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_Easy_install_SystemRescueCd_on_harddisk
The standard Grub Legacy menu file is menu.lst, which is what you need instead of grub.conf unless you're using a RedHat/Fedora fork of Grub Legacy. RedHat/Fedora don't need its config file to be compatible with 8.3 filesystems, which menu.lst is and grub.conf is not. Not likely the grub-0.97-r10 on the systemrescuecd is the fork that knows to look for grub.conf instead of the standard menu.lst. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
