I am having problems getting grub to work again. It was working fine today and these are the symptoms:
My laptop internal drive has c0d0p1 (hd0,0) which is my solaris fdisk partition. And c0d0p2 (hd0,1) is a fat32 fdisk partition. When I boot the system I no longer see the grub 0.95 boot menu. I just get a grub prompt. When I run at the grub prompt: root (hd0,0) I get this error: Filesystem -type unknown, partition type 0x00000bf I can boot off of a OpenSolaris Belenix DVD and when I run fdisk on my boot drive I still see the first partition listed as active and Solaris2 and my 2nd fdisk partition is fat32. Belenix mounts the fat32 partition to /mnt/fat0 and I can see the files on it (no OS is installed in the partition). I can't umount /mnt/fat0 (even with the -f option!) And I can't find any way to mount /dev/dsk/c0d0p1 when booted off of the DVD to try to fix the menu.1st file. All I did this afternoon was fdisk the 2nd partition, mkfs_pcfs it and mount it via the /etc/vfstab. Everything seemed fine and I shut down my laptop. When I rebooted, I can't get the menu to be recognized and i can't figure out how to fix it via the grub menu. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
