I've got two harddrives. hda is my linux drive, hdb is my win2k drive.
The default grub config didn't boot my win2k partition, which isn't really a
shock as it never has. But, neither did the grub config I had saved from my
fc1 install ( as follows )
root (hd1,0)
map (hd0, (hd1)
map (hd1), (hd0)
chainloader +1
My ability with grub is limited enough that I don't really understand what is
happening in the above ( the maps are obvious, but why root() and
chainloader? ), so I have no clue on how to fix this. I have read the info
pages on grub.conf, but from everythign I've read, this should work.
Has anybody gotten grub to work with a similar config?
Thanks
Chainloader just tells grub to pass on the boot process to the image
waiting on the second drive. I think, that is how I understood
chainloader to work. However, I believe your config should look
somethin' like the following:
title WinXP
map (hd0,0) (hd1,0)
map (hd1,0) (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
Hope this helps.
