Re: installing a grub/lilo bootloader on the MBR of a MOUNTED hddy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



man grub

or check the grub homepage

i guess this is a very well commented thing.

a short cut:

root=/dev/yourhd

for the dd options:

dd if=/dev/yourmbrpart of=/target/dir/file bs=512 count=1

one way that i might think of is to tell grub per commandline input which hd to take as root hd.

the other is to clone the mbr via dd and put it onto your cloned disk.

Boot using rescue disk or Disk one and type linux rescue. The mount
