I decided to eliminate grub from the mba of the hardrive where windows resides, so I could just boot to linux using a floppy. Obviously I wanted grub on a floppy so what I did was (read it somewhere) to dd the files stage1 and stage2 from /usr/share/grub/i386-redhat/ to the floppy like this:
# dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
# dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
When the computer boots I get grub> so I can give parameters such as root (hd1,0), kernel ... initrd... and then boot to the current kernel. I don't want to type these things everytime I want to boot linux. Can I make a script or something so I don't need to do it everytime? do I need to install "more completely" grub on the floppy? What can I do?
Thanks a lot for any help!
Felipe.
