Hello all, I was wondering if someone could help me out with this problem. I'm trying to get a dual boot Windows/Linux install and am following the instructions:
sudo su mkdir /media/hda1/boot grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda1 /dev/sda cp /live/image/extra/grub/menu.lst /media/sda1/boot/grub but get an error almost every step of the way (except the first). Here are my steps and errors: I get "cannot create directory '/media/hda1/boot': No such file or directory" so I make the hda1 directory under /media/ then create the boot directory under that to be able to move on. Then "grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda1 /dev/sda" gives me "error: cannot find a device for /media/sda1. error: cannot find a device for /media/sda1/boot/." Alternatively I tried this: Since my hard drive is sda1 (not hda1) I tried creating the boot directory under /media/sda1/ but that doesn't work either. And a last bit of info. My windows C:\ is on an NTFS partition and after copying the live folder into the C:\ root and booting Pure:Dyne I can't get a directory listing on /dev/sda1. I can, however, see that file system under /live/image/. Don't know if that matters. Anyone know whats going on here? I'm just trying to install grub basically. I'm using the latest leek & potato release (tried miso as well). Thanks! Scott --- [email protected] irc.goto10.org #pure:dyne
