Hello all,

 

I have a bit of a mystery problem here. I am remastering a GRUB boot
Solaris 10 install DVD and I wanted to edit the GRUB menu such that if
someone accidentally leaves the DVD in the drive when they power on, it
will wait 30-seconds and boot from the local hard drive unless the user
specifically chooses the original default entry to load Solaris. The
remastered CD gets to the GRUB screen and displays the message I wanted,
but I get an error "Error 28: Multi-boot kernel must be loaded before
modules.

 

Here is what the menu.lst looks like:

 

#

#pragma ident    "@(#)install_menu          1.1        05/09/01 SMI"

#

default=0

timeout=30

title Boot from System Disk

    root (hd0,0,a)

    kernel /platform/i86pc/mulitboot

    module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive

title Solaris 

            kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -B install_media=cdrom

            module /boot/x86.miniroot

title Solaris Serial Console ttya

        kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -B
install_media=cdrom,console=ttya

        module /boot/x86.miniroot

title Solaris Serial Console ttyb (for lx50, v60x and v65x)

        kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -B
install_media=cdrom,console=ttyb

        module /boot/x86.miniroot

 

The path /platform/i86pc/multiboot is the path on the hard drive for
multi-boot. I copied that entry from the hard drive that the system
boots from. What gives?

 

Thanks in advance for any hints...
