Re: may grub to load my OS dynamically?

[Markus Feldmann]

Hallo Wilhelm,

i have done this,
with a little Addon,
#I did something more before the next Points, but i can not remember.
#I did edit the file /etc/boot/device.map and the file /etc/boot/menu.lst

1.) Boot with the SuSE 9.0 CD

2.)I searched for the file /boot/grub/stage1:
find /boot/grub/stage1
(HD2.0) #This is what i got from Grub.

3.) I did:
root (HD2.0)

4.) I did:
setup (HD2.0)

5.)I did boot with the my SCSI Drive where is my SuSE 9.0

6.)I did edit the boot-Menue:
title SuSE-9.0
    kernel (hd0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1(x)
    initrd (hd0)/initrd
#Yes this is crazy, but it seems to work. Maybe other people must prob at
this point.


Thanks Wilhelm for your Help.

mfg Markus F.

1. Maybe you have to modify your /etc/boot/device.map as follow:

(hd0)   /dev/hda
(hd1)   /dev/sda
(hd2)   /dev/sdb


2. Furthermore you have to modify your /etc/boot/menu.lst



title SuSE-9.0
    kernel (hd2,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1(x)
    initrd (hd2,0)/initrd

titel Windown eXPensive
    root (hd1,0)
    chainloader +1
    makeactive


3. Then save it and make a

4. grub-install (hd0)


bye - Wilhelm
