I'm thinking that this should be possible with grub, I've tried grub-0.95, 0.97, 1.91 and legacy (so far I cannot compile grub2) and all seem to be unable to find the boot partition.
I created the grub boot floppy like this:| Code Sample | $ cd /opt/grub/lib/grub/i386-pc
$ sudo dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
512 bytes transferred in 0.612537 seconds (836 bytes/sec)
$ sudo dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
203+1 records in
203+1 records out
104082 bytes transferred in 3.849574 seconds (27037 bytes/sec) |
NB: I could not read the resulting floppy, but it boots
My lilo conf looks like this:| Quote | lba32 #enable large disk support
timeout=30 #wait 3 seconds before auto-booting
vga=791
boot=/dev/sdb3 #put Lilo boot loader in partition of target disk
root=/dev/sdb3 #set root to be partition of target disk
image=/boot/linux24
label=DSL
initrd=/boot/minirt24.gz
read-only
APPEND="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce nodma quiet frugal BOOT_IMAGE=/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX fromhd=/dev/sdb3 restore=sdb4 toram alsa syslog mydsl=sdb4" |
At the grub boot prompt, I tried this:| Code Sample | > root (hd1,2)
error 22: no such partition
> rootnoverify hd(1,2)
> kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/sdb3
error 22: no such partition |
- am I making a mistake somewhere?
