Dear All,
I have several experimental Linux installs, plus one production install, with a boot floppy for each. The latest install, of course, puts its own bootloader on the hard disk (the Fedora 1.0 bootloader was overwritten by Mandrake 9.2).
Now, my problem is that I want to make Fedora 1.0 boot from the hard disk, but I cannot find the maintenance tool to rewrite the bootloader in any of the menus. What am I overlooking? How do I rewrite the bootloader.
run this : grub-install <your boot device> for exmaple : grub-install /dev/hda
Make sure the /etc/grub.conf file has the right contents.
Just FYI:
From
# info grub Installation/Installing GRUB using grub-install: ---- *Caution:* This procedure is definitely deprecated, because there are several posibilities that your computer can be unbootable. For example, most operating systems don't tell GRUB how to map BIOS drives to OS devices correctly, GRUB merely "guesses" the mapping. This will succeed in most cases, but not always. So GRUB provides you with a user-defined map file called "device map", which you must fix, if it is wrong. ----
Look at # info grub Installation/Installing GRUB natively: Short form: ---- root (hd0,5) setup (hd0) ---- will install grub in mbr of the first harddisk (hd0) an look for its config and other grub files on the second logical Partition (hd0,5 -- presumable /dev/hda6)

BTW: fedora-test-list is IMHO not the right place for this
