FYI: I am not using a /boot partition, all of centos is in sdb5. I am using grub, but it is installed into a small ~ 10 Mb grub-only partition sdb9. That chainloads all my os's, centos(sdb5), fc5(sdb6), f10(sda1) I havent been able to get f10 X working. Jack ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] centos 5.2 install: mbr or no bootloader ?
I recently used a purchased centos 5.2 dvd to install. It all went smoothly, and I am up and running automagically it seems to have upgraded itself to 5.3 Final One peculiarity: I believe I was given the choice of: --installing the bootloader into mbr or --no bootloader install I did not want my mbr overwritten, so I chose no bootloader Why is there no choice of 1st sector of root partition? or did I just miss it? I wanted to chainload the centos install, but that requires grub installed into 1st sector of root partition. So after the os install I used knoppix livecd to > grub root (hd1,4) # sdb5 is my centos partition setup (hd1,4) and centos now loads from a chainloader +1in my grub partition So I have fixed it; but curious as to why the install dvd didn't give me the choice there.
