After making changes to /boot/grub/menu.lst, how do you check that your
changes are okay, and haven't broken things so you can't boot?
I know that you don't need to re-run grub after changing the file (as
you would with lilo after changing /etc/lilo.conf), but after reading
the grub info file, and the grub FAQ, I still couldn't find an answer
to this question.
Since / is on /dev/hda7 and contains /boot/grub/menu.lst, I tried:
# grub
grub> configfile (hd0,6)/boot/grub/menu.lst
which displayed a little text menu in my terminal window, which
*looked* okay. Does that mean that the syntax is correct and that all
the entries I've made check out?
(The first couple of time I tried this I must have mistyped the
configfile path - maybe as hd(0,6)/boot/grub/menu.lst or something,
since all I got was an uninformative message.)
