I can successfully run these two commands when booted into a GNU/Linux system running from a partition on my harddrive (/dev/sda1):
$ sudo grub-mkimage -O i386-pc -o /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img --prefix '(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub' biosdisk part_msdos ext2 $ sudo grub-bios-setup --directory=/boot/grub/i386-pc /dev/sda However, if I try running these same commands from same OS running *on a live USB*, the second command fails with this message: "grub-bios-setup: error: failed to get canonical path of `overlay'." What does grub-bios-setup need to succeed in this setting? P.S. I know how to install grub2 to sda from live USB using mount and grub-install, but I'd like to learn how to do it the more hands-on way above so that I can have a fuller understanding of what's going on. _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list Help-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
