GRUB cannot find stage2
After installing grub onto the system I cannot seem to get it to find
the stage2 file. Here is my fdisk output for the drive it will be installed
onto:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2491 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 2491 20008926 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 1 3 24034+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda6 4 10 56196 83 Linux native
/dev/hda7 11 17 56196 83 Linux native
/dev/hda8 18 22 40131 83 Linux native
/dev/hda9 23 2491 19832211 83 Linux native
At the prompt, after the shell is invoked from the grub bootdisk, I
enter
install (fd0)+1 (hd0) (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage2 p
My boot partition lies on partition /dev/hda5. The output from df is
as follows
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda6 54410 21921 29680 42% /
/dev/hda5 23268 786 21281 4% /boot
/dev/hda7 54410 11482 40119 22% /var

/dev/hda9 19021175 333698 17695867 2% /usr
The only message I get is file not found. The output from find /boot
-name stage2 is /boot/grub/stage2. Any ideas?
