A boot loader that reads filesystems?
i gotta be havin me summa that!
1. apt-get install grub
2. read some documentation [man grub, /usr/share/doc/grub]
3. made sure the necessary was in /boot/grub/ [stage1 ,stage1.5 stage2s]
4. wrote /boot/grub/menu.1st
5. grub-install /dev/ide/bus0..../disc
This all works but the menu does appear by default, each time i boot
have to do
grub> root (hd0,3)
grub> configfile /boot/grub/menu.1st
then can choose OS from menu, how does one pursuade grub to default to
menu rather than commandline?
Next time you boot and get the command line, try:
grub> root (hd0,3)
grub> setup (hd0) #this sets up grub in the mbr which is presumably
where it is right now
It *should* return several lines, including a mention of menu.1st.
Reboot and the menu should be there.
