[CLUE-Tech] Stump the stiffs III: Wrecked MBRs

[Dave Price]

Here is the grub piece:


# /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
 (installs grub)

create /boot/grub/grub.conf something like this - your partitions will
vary:

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda6
	initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img

title Windows 98
	map (hd0,0) (hd0,2)
	map (hd0,2) (hd0,0)
	rootnoverify (hd0,2)
	chainloader +1

For more on dual boot with grub, see:

(Note that the debian grub package uses a very different file layout,
and does the 'grub-install' for you)

Also, grub has a neat ability to let you play with a config from a
floppy and then commit it to your mbr when you are happy with it.

aloha,
