I have never used grub-install manually. The few times I have installed GRUB manually, I just ran the GRUB shell (i.e. "grub" at a shell prompt) and told it what I wanted directly (I didn't worry about what it probed). For example, if I needed /dev/sdb to be bootable (before moving it to another system or removing the current /dev/sda for example) and /boot was /dev/sdb1, I did (in grub): device (hd0) /dev/sdb root (hd0,0) setup --prefix=/grub (hd0) For "expert" users, the grub shell is easy and is the way to go. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
