I've ran 'grub-install /dev/hda' as well as grub with commands 'root
(hd0,0)' 'setup (hd0)' 'quit'
Then when I rebooted the machine, I'd get the error: "GRUB Read Error".
LILO works fine.
In the BIOS it has an option "Large Disk Access Mode" with options "DOS"
or "Other", I've tried both with the same result. LILO works fine on
either as well.
I tried using a floppy to boot grub, but it results in a almost similar
message "GRUB Loading stage2Read Error".
Machine:
Compaq Presario 1610 (laptop)
PhoenixBIOS [Version: rw_1022.97 (11/18/1997)]
Thanks for any effort you put into this,
