I thought my bootdevice should be /dev/cciss/c0d0p1, but grub refuses to complete (GRUB-PC/10-setup says so ) so, I echoed "BOOT_DEVICE=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1" to that disk_var.sh script. after setup finished I switch to another console and try to re-do the grub tricks from GRUB-PC/10-setup... chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy "(hd0,msdos1)" failed with: /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attemting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea.. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is dicouraged.. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: if you really want blocklists, use --force. also tried to put it in /dev/ccisss/c0d0 but that fails with "Your embedding area is unusually smal./ core.img won't fit on it... thanks for any more help. alex > Best, > Michael
