Re: Installing grub to hd from hurd

Using a grub boot floppy, at the grub> prompt, I've typed "setup (hd0)", which then says it's checking for stage1 and stage2, and a conf file, and then it reports success. However, on reboot, I just get a blank screen with a dash in the top left corner, just like I would sometimes get back in the old days of MS-DOS if the boot sector was corrupt and the system started booting and then hung early in the process.

I don't know what happened, but here is a short guide for manual installation:

In GNU/Hurd or GNU/Linux:

# mkdir /boot/grub
# cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /boot/grub
# vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

In Grub shell:

(grub) root (hd0,0)	# The partition with /boot/grub
(grub) setup (hd0)	# The whole disk
