Hi,
I'm
having an Install Poblem in GNU/Hurd and I'm stuck with
grub.....
I just
acquired a 40Gb EIDE Hard Drive. I used it as my primary slave hard disk
drive. I also made some partitions here for me to try the diffirent
GNU/Linux dist. I created these partitions, when I was installing
Mandrake7.0 where somewhere during the installation procedure you're asked to
create partitions.
I
allotted a 950Mb partition (/dev/hdb13) for the GNU/Hurd in this second hard
drive.
In
GNU/Linux, this is what I did at root directory:
1. # mkdir /gnu
2. # umount
/dev/hdb13 -- /dev/hdb13 was added/created when I
installed Mandrake7.0
3. # mke2fs -o hurd
/dev/hdb13
4. # mount /dev/hdb13
/gnu
5. # tar --same-owner
-xzvpf gnu-20000301.tar.gz
6. # tar -xzf
grub-0.5.94.tar.gz
7. # dd if=bin/stage1
of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 --- I think I did this under
/boot/grub...
8. # dd if=bin/stage2
of=/dev/fd0 bs=512
count=1
"
9. # umount
/dev/hdb13
10. # reboot
11. Booting disk drive A using Grub
boot disk....
** 12. At Grub Prompt> root
(hd1,12)
Selected cylinder exceeds max supp. by BIOS. -- This
message appears....
I
tried using the old Grub, I think it's ".92". After gunzipping
it and did:
# dd if=grub-ungzipped
of=/dev/fd0 bs=512
And
use this other disk to do boot for Hurd:
At Grub Prompt>
root=(hd1,12)
Selected cylinder exceeds max supp. by BIOS. -- Same
message appears.... How
can I passed this thing... Until what partition can I use the Grub
and Hurd? Where did I go wrong here? How do I activate the Window in
Grub?
One
other thing I can't figure out, in GNU/Linux root prompt, if I do the
ff:
# mount /dev/fdo
/mnt/floppy
--- Works okay the Grub *.92 Boot Disk...
#
But if
I do it for the *.5.94 Grub Boot Disk, it shows me this
message:
mount: you must specify the filesystem
type
If I
use this command for *.5.94: # mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0
/mnt/floppy
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad
......
Also,
how do I activate the window in Grub *.5.94?
Sorry
for this quite long message, but I hope somebody can help me with
this.
Thanks
a lot.
