Re: location of grub/menu.lst
2006/8/4, shark@gulfnet.sd64.bc.ca <shark@gulfnet.sd64.bc.ca>:
Suppose that a machine has Windows installed on
hda and Debian on hdb. The menu.lst on a grub
installation diskette is configured appropriately and
copied to /dev/hda/boot/grub/menu.lst.
this is not a real path, how did you do it.
"grub-install /dev/hda" is executed.
Will grub then know to use the menu.lst on hdb?
If so, how does grub know this?
Otherwise, how can grub be configured to know this?
it depends on the grub-install script, it should firstly determine
where is the root partition of grub, in which the menu.list and
stage1, stage1.5, stage2 image of grub store, and it is normaly the
boot partition. Then install it on MBR of /dev/hda.
Usually the grub-install script will find the grub files in
/boot/grub/ dir, but I am not sure about a grub installation diskette.
