Re: Making /pure64 image bootable

[Anders Brandt Petersen <anders@wizardry.dk>]

Hi Toshikazu

Did you run grub-install????

I found this (The site is a bit slow):  
http://www.wlug.org.nz/TroubleshootingStartUp

Claiming that grub is unable to load stage1.

And you did this:
# grub

> root (hd1,27)

> setup (hd1,27)

> quit

That should be it (Unless perhaps grub sees it as a SCSI-dev).

I can't read the lilo-installer either, I ran file on it, which claims 
that it is data. When running file on eg. discover-data-udeb I get this:
discover-data-udeb_2.2004.04.09-1_all.udeb: Debian binary package 
(format 2.0), uses gzip compression

Best Regards
Anders
