[ale] Grub

[ChrisF at computone.com (Chris Fowler)]

Is the the incorrect config file for Grub?


I'm using it like this: grub < /boot/grub/menu


--- /boot/grub/menu ---------------
title= Linux HD Install
install= (fd0)+1 (fd0) (fd0)/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 p 
root= (hd0,6)
kernel= /boot/kernel root=/dev/hda6
-----------------------------------


Basically I want to create a floppy disk that does the following


1. Loads Stage 1
2. Loads Stage 2
3. Executes the kernel
4. The kernel mounts /dev/hda6 and runs init


I do not want the floppy disk to laod anything from the hard drive.?? I only wan the kernel the mount the hard drive and continue from there.

Below are my error messages


------- Output of grub < menu ------
GRUB?? version 0.5.96.1?? (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)


??[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.?? For the first word, TAB

???? completions of a device/filename. ]


grub> title= Linux HD Install

grub> install= (fd0)+1 (fd0) (fd0)/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 p 


Error 6: Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2


grub> root= (hd0,6)


Error 22: No such partition


grub> kernel= /boot/kernel root=/dev/hda6


Error 12: Invalid device requested


grub> 
-----------------------------------------------


This program is very complicated and any help would be appreciated.?? A link to a GOOD howto will help too.


Thanks,
