I've seen some people try to do this with LVM. That requires an initrd and is not directly supported in LFS. That's why I asked for the partition type. > In reading the book, it said to set aside a partiton for LFS, that > was /dev/sdc2 That should be OK, but if its a very large drive, there are some problems, especially by GRUB Legacy, starting deep into the drive. > I built it, step-by-step, and didn't realize until it was built that > there was a new GRUB.

That's OK. > So When I boot up, its using the legacy GRUB And the book tells you how to test GRUB2 starting from GRUB Legacy.

You mentioned grub.cfg. GRUB Legacy uses menu.lst. > At > this point I could remove sda and put sdc in its place, but LFS would > still be on the 2nd partition, but I hope to avoid this. It's probably OK as is. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
