using grub to install mbr on other hard drive.
hey.
i'm building a debian disk image as a linux based 802.11b access point
(using jouni malinen's host ap mode drivers). basically at this point it
works but i'm trying to convert from lilo to grub because as i become
familiar with it i like it a lot better.
this image will be batch loaded onto fujitsu stylistic 1000's (which have
a type 3 pcmcia hard drive). so the basic procedure will be:
* put pcmcia drive in laptop (shows up as /dev/hde)
* cfdisk /dev/hde
* mke2fs /dev/hde1
* mount /dev/hde1 /mnt
* tar Ixvf image.tar.bz2 /mnt
* install mbr onto drive so it's bootable
and here's where i get stuck. i can make it work with lilo but i can't
figure out how to do it with grub. can anyone point me in the right
direction please?
thanks,
adam.
