Now I really _want_ to install grub on individual partitions so that I can chainloader to different installations like grub-legacy has let me do for years. grub-install /dev/sdb8 grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea. grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged. grub-setup: error: If you really want blocklists, use --force. USE THE FORCE, LUKE ... grub-setup --force /dev/sdb8 grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea. grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged. It didn't ... It it didn't put grub on /dev/sdb8 ... the grub-legacy is still there "GNU Grub 0.97" Plus, grub-legacy used to let you "setup grub" from the grub command line is you had booted from a floppy, or a cd, or some other way. I think that is a major function loss. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
