I have a new install of 10.3 and cannot seem to boot the system without
the dvd in the drive.
If I have the dvd in the drive, it defaults to boot to hard disk, it
will pass to the grub menu and the system boots fine. If I take the
disk out they system tells me to insert a bootable disk.
I have set grub to install to the MBR, I have reinstalled via yast and
with the following commands:
orion:~ # grub-install /dev/sda
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (hd0,1)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5" exists... yes

embedded.
succeeded
Running "install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0)

Done.
grub> quit

I also booted a windows floppy and tried fdisk /mbr and the reinstalled
grub again without sucess. Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
