grub2 is out, but without any documentation.
I can get it to boot my machine off a floppy by feeding commands by hand from
the grub prompt (substitute "linux" for "kernel"), but I don't know how to
tell it to automatically read a config file (menu.lst or menu.conf) and boot
from the commands there.
I can tell grub to read the file menu.lst (which has a working entry from
above) with the `configfile` command, but when I boot, grub says that I
haven't given it a kernel, so the command `configfile` doesn't seem to make
grub read the file.
hmm, after loading the config file, if I wait the "timeout"
value, the machine boots normally. I haven't found how to
tell grub2 to read the config file automatically and just
boot. The name/location of the config file is not a
parameter of grub-install
Thanks Joe
Anyone got grub2 to work automatically yet?
Thanks Joe
