Code:ls -l /boot/grub
Hi folks,
LiveCD 4.0.2
I can't find the bootloader "grub" and its menu.lst
# find / -name menu.lst# find / -name grub -type dCode:/ramdisk/home/knoppix/tmp/menu.lst /UNIONFS/home/knoppix/tmp/menu.lstThey seem to be documents. Where does "Grub" reside?Code:/KNOPPIX/lib/grub /KNOPPIX/usr/share/doc/grub /UNIONFS/lib/grub /UNIONFS/usr/share/doc/grub
Please advise. TIA

satimis I guess you're a bit confused. Are you looking for the program 'grub'(the binary)? Type 'whereis grub'.
menu.lst is just the main grub config file created in the /boot/grub' directory after a regular install, and you would never find it in the live cd.
Hi maxIT
Tks for your advice.
I got itType 'whereis grub'
$ whereis grubAfter having succeeded installing Knoppix on pendrive using syslinux as bootloader. I'm prepared installing it again, this time, using grub as bootloader running the pendrive as Hard DriveCode:grub: /sbin/grub /lib/grub /usr/share/man/man8/grub.8.gz
I have a 1G pendrive (Avixe Platinum Drive) created with 3 partitons.
# fdisk -l /dev/sdaPartition-1 /bootCode:Disk /dev/sda: 1007 MB, 1007419392 bytes 31 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1023 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1922 * 512 = 984064 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 260 249829 6 FAT16 /dev/sda2 261 990 701530 83 Linux /dev/sda3 991 1023 31713 83 Linux
Partition-2 for Knoppix (actually DSL)
Partition-3 spare
I cant' run
# grub-install /mnt/sda1
because of different FS, FAT16 and ext2
So I ran follows manually;
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
# mkdir /mnt/sda1/boot
# mkdir /mnt/sda1/boot/grub
copied following files from /lib/grub/i386-pc/ on /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/
stage1
stage2
fat_stage1_5
Then
# echo abc > /mnt/sda1/myusb
# touch /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/menu.lst
Afterwards copied "linux24" and "minirt24.gz" from DSL LiveCD (Knoppix on pendrive using DSL) on
/mnt/sda1/boot/
The files installed were as follows;
# ls -ls /mnt/sda1# ls -ls /mnt/sda1/boot/Code:total 8 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 25 17:28 boot 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4 Mar 25 17:30 myusb# ls -ls /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/Code:total 1856 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 26 23:21 grub 984 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1005209 Mar 25 17:28 linux24 868 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 888040 Mar 25 17:28 minirt24.gzCode:total 120 8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7684 Mar 25 17:12 fat_stage1_5 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 280 Mar 25 17:24 menu_fc3.lst 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 Mar 25 17:12 stage1 104 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 103816 Mar 25 17:12 stage2
The setup of the menu.lst was as follows;Code:color cyan/blue yellow/blue default 0 timeout 20 root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init apm=power-off toram dma nomce noapic quiet knoppix_dir=DSL lng=us initrd (hd0,0)/boot/minirt24.gz
Then
# cd /mnt/sda1
and ran
# grubgrub> find /myusbCode:Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. GNU GRUB version 0.95 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.

grub> root (hd1,0)grub> setup (hd1,0)Code:Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0x6But I can't find file /boo/grub/grub.conf there.Code:Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/fat_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /boot/grub/fat_stage1_5 (hd1,0)"... failed (this is not fatal) Running "embed /boot/grub/fat_stage1_5 (hd1,0)"... failed (this is not fatal) Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1,0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/grub.conf "... succeeded Done.
grub> quit
Then umount /mnt/sda1 and /mnt/cdrom
Rebooted PC but the BIOS can't detect the pendrive, having used 1st boot options as;
USB-HDD/USB-ZIP/USB-FDD/etc.
I did not know what mistake committed.
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA
