Folks, I am trying to get Multi-boot configurations going and since I have not had much luck so far because grub hangs off the MBR, I ended up doing this: HD layout: w98se, w2000Svr, FD3, Ext(rest) 1) linux rescue - ran grub-install /dev/hdb3, rebooted, and it still hangs 2) Restored MBR to win89 - Booted FD3 cd - selected update - selected grub for "install grub in parition" and not in MBR - Installation proceeded until the very end saying in effect: "Cannot install bootloader (grub) since no kernel is installed" *** Say what? THIS MAKES NO SENSE! - So I guess you CANNOT restore grub if you change the MBR??? cripe! 3) Tried another pathway: - Booted FD3 cd - selected "fresh install" - wipe-out the FD3-parition (i.e. format) - install everything FRESH (yet once again!!) w/ grub installed in MBR (i.e. ./dev/hdb) - complete installation, reboot - back to grub hang... So -- the whole installation is circular. Ok... I DID read all the FAQ, searched GOOGLE for MP-boot and nothing I found was of help or value. Sheesh. Anyone have any pointers, please? NOTE: I have installed MB before w/ FD2 and *somehow* I got it to work but it was a REAL CHORE (a teeth puller experience) but I cannot recall how to do it again!!! Kind regards, Dan
