The man pages are very real explicit with example commands, but from info grub and poking around a bit, it looks like you should have executed grub-install /dev/hda In the past, when I have thought that command explanations were a bit ambiguous, I've often gotten useful examples by googling on (say) grub-install examples which works in this case, even better than grubbin' thru info <grin> ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
