Has anyone else made a hard drive bootable using the LiveCD 6.2-2
and gotten it to work?
Yes. I could copy files from the LiveCD to a new partition and run bash.
Here is the installation history (from qemu):
fdisk /dev/hda
mke2fs /dev/hda1
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
cp -av /dev/shm/.cdrom/boot /lib /bin /mnt
mkdir /mnt/dev
cp -av /dev/{null,console} /mnt/dev
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt '(hd0)'
vim /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst
Here is menu.lst:
default 0
timeout 10
title Linux Kernel
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/isolinux/linux root=/dev/hda1 init=/bin/bash
It booted. You probably missed the --root-directory=/mnt grub command
line switch.
