Grub is not a favorite of mine, I prefer lilo, so I am hoping someone out there can help w/ the following.
I initially installed lilo, and was having boot problems, so I editted /grub/grub.conf. This particular system
has and ide, and scsi disk, scsi being the disk w/ the OS, and ide disk w/ data. I believe the system was
confusing the disks, thinking hda was my primary and bootable device, wrong. Reason why I went to grub.
However, I can boot the system now, but when I boot I get the grub> (prompt), and I have to type
grub> configfile /grub/grub.conf
What do I need to run so I do not have to do this everytime I boot the system.
I know lilo I run lilo -v -v. help !!!!!
With lilo you need to do something like below to force ordering of the disks:
disk = /dev/sda
bios = 0x80
disk = /dev/hda
bios = 0x81
In grub I believe you will need to edit /boot/grub/device.map, and do something like this:
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/hda
PS- You should make sure you have a TESTED means of booting the system from other media. Before you try any of this. Remember your redhat install cddom has a rescue mode.
