/boot/grub2 exists.
I made an F16 livecd. edited /boot/grub/grub.conf:
default=0
timeout=2
title 3.2.2
kernel /vmlinuz-3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
initrd /initramfs-3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64.img
all taken from grub2/grub.cfg.
It booted, but then died with a dracut prompt - and I had no clue what
to do then.
Running grub2-install from the livecd doesn't work. Ubuntu seems to have
a tool "boot-repair" on their livecd, but I can't find anything like
that on Fedora.
So,
How do I boot the using grub - so I can run grub2-install natively?
OR how do I install grub2 from the livecd - or otherwise?
sean
Used the ubuntu boot-repair program. That installed the grub2
bootloader. Didn't go any further with the ubuntu tool since I wasn't
sure how it fit with fedora.
But now how do I get up the grub2/grub prompt described in the wiki??
sean
So now:
grub2-install --no-floppy /dev/sdg
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small.
core.img won't fit in it..
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be
installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are
UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/sbin/grub2-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
What do I do now! Embedding area???
