grub-install in chroot not respected?
I was trying to move all my debian stuff to one harddisk, so I created
an identically sized partition to my '/' (which contains boot) and
'dd'ed my '/' partition over. I then chrooted into it successfully,
everything looked okay (files had the right permissions, etc), but when
I tried to run 'grub-install' with the new, changed menu.lst and
/etc/fstab it gave me the error:
The file /boot/grub/stage2 not read correctly
I googled around for that and a couple sources suggested running in the
grub shell:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
this appeared to have worked, as did subsequent 'grub-install's, but
when I rebooted, I was back in my debian setup on hdb, not the one on
hda.
I tried googling variations on 'installing grub chroot' but haven't
seemed to get very far. Maybe a different search would be more
fruitful, but I can't come up with better terms.
Pertinent info:
Debian unstable
grub 0.97-7.1
linux-2.6.17-rc1 from kernel.org
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
TIA,
