I'm not shure if I understand all you write. You should take a look at grub2-install, and especially the option "--root-directory=". You could e.g. copy your bootfiles on one of those disks (or create a /boot partition there), specify this disk as boot-disk in the BIOS, and install grub2 into the MBR there. Note that if you choose a separate /boot partition, your root-directory will be the toplevel directory related to /boot, and not /boot itself, otherwise your new installed grub2 will fail to boot. Precisely, it looks for a directory called /boot in what you specify as --root-directory, so if you mount /boot on /mnt, it will be /mnt, and not /mnt/boot or /boot. > Would it help to reinstall my legacy f14 grub to mbr of first internal disk? Yes, it will. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
