I avoided Grub since it was "new" (in my opinion) and I was more used to lilo. I configured/installed lilo onto my /boot device. I had to edit the lilo.conf file to set up up properly. Once lilo.conf was correct, I ran lilo (/sbin/lilo as root). Once that was done, I could "peel off" the boot sector using the 'dd if=xx of=yy bs=512 count=1' command. For a Grub user, I would assume that it is a similar adventure. Get the grub config file (I do not know the actual name) set up correctly. Get grub installed to your /boot device. Once that is done, peel off the boot sector. Sorry I cannot be more specific. Dave -- There are only 10 types of people.
