Re: GRUB doesn't come up in new installation

["Levi Waldron" <onemorenut@gmail.com>]

By the way, I just tried re-installing grub from a chroot environment
within the liveCD environment, then comparing the new MBR with the one
that I couldn't boot from.  They're identical, so I don't think the
bios is overwriting my MBR.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /mnt

root@ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/hda
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

(hd0)   /dev/hda
root@ubuntu:/# exit

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=boot2.MBR bs=512 count=1
