doing that grub-install /dev/sda will give me the "corresponding BIOS
device" error.
But now I fixed it by doing a manual grub install.
first boot with cd1 and type linux rescue at the prompt
when you're at the linux prompt after detecting and mounting the
partitions, do a "chroot /mnt/sysimage"
then
# grub --batch
#grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are
embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p
(hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf"... succeeded
Done.
#grub> root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
#grub> setup (hd1)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)"... 16 sectors are
embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+16 p
(hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf"... succeeded
Done.
#grub> quit
Reboot, you're done.
Question: A simple power outage will kill grub's mbr or am i just plain unlucky?
