Re: The Fine Art of Making a Bootable Drive
It turns out that the reason I never thought of using mkfs to
build a working boot sector is that mkfs doesn't do that. Grub,
however, does but I am still a bit confused as to how to get it
working. I mounted the new drive on /mnt
#mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt
It's all there.
#chroot /mnt
/ is now the top of that directory.
#grub-install /dev/sda
/dev/sda isthere but grub reports it can't find that device and
"is /dev mounted?" This is one of those time you wish siri was
part of Linux and you could yell at her! Seriously, how do I
safely do this so that I make this disk think it is /dev/sda
which will be what it is when it really boots?
