I think this is dengerous. Can I install GRUB on floppy disk.
I wrote commands as you gave me:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
and /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda3 -- linux partition
and I obtained message:
`Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
# this device map was generated by anaconda. (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda'
exit
exit
rebooting
and I still see windows boot loader
Windows 2000 first Windows 2000 se.
What you have done is installed grub on /dev/hda3, your Linux partition, rather than the Master Boot Record. So you're still using the Windows bootloader. You can get this bootloader to chain-load grub by using a tool like bootpart (http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm) to add an entry to boot from your Linux partition to the Windows boot menu.
Alternatively, you could install grub in the Master Boot Record (/dev/hda) and have that configured to load your Windows bootloader. This is the usual way of dual-booting Linux and Windows.
