Insalling from floppy to RAID5
I am trying to install from a floppy boot image on to a box that has a
raid5 partition scheme. The raid5 partitions are software raid and were
set up during the install process.
I know from experience that GRUB fails if installing to JFS, as the
sarge version of GRUB does not support that FS, so I am in the practice
of making a 100mb /boot partition using EXT2. However, when I install on
this box, the install fails at the GRUB install stage, in a manner
similar to what happens when I tried to install to a JFS /boot partition.
Inspecting the console it seems that the installer is trying to install
GRUB onto hd0.
I think that is the cause. Shouldn't GRUB be going onto the MBR of md1
(which is the /boot partition) instead of hd0?
If this is not the case, can someone help me find out what im doing
wrong? I do this *exact* procedure when installing from a sarge install
CD set, the only thing im doing different is now im installing to a
RAID5 set and not a RAID1 set.
Thanks,
- Naz.
