Howdy rajariship,


I don't understand what you mean, you have a grub prompt, are you trying to set it up

> setup (hd0,0)

Puts grub on the boot sector for hda

> setup (hd0,2)

Puts grub on the boot sector for partition 3 on the hda

> root (hd0,2)

Installs the secondary files on the 3rd partition of hda

Best to check the docs as i haven't looked at grub for a while and don't do it much., grubs html set is quite good. Should be available on the install disc.

Are you in a menu ?, can you type "help", are there menu items ?. It is possible to give a cli at the prompt. Is that what you mean ?

Hope i didn't get your meaning wrong there
