Hi,
I am learning GRUB from this "GRUB fro the ground up",
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux..._Booter_Floppy.
I followed the steps here to make a grub floppy,
cd /boot/grub
cat stage1 stage2 > /dev/fd0h1440 -- note: in the tutorial it is
/dev/fd0u1440, but I do not see such device in my RedHat Enterprise 3.
Then I use it to boot my test PC, what I see is like this,
Searching for Boot Record from CD_ROM... Not found
Searching for Boor Record from floppy... OK
GRUB loading stage2Geom ERROR
Do you see anyting wrong here?
BTW I do not actually understand why the instruction is OK. Basically
how come such command as "cat stage1 stage2 > /dev/fd0h1440" can write
stage1 file to boot record of the floppy? This command to me is just
create 2 new files to floppy disk, then they should be in data area of
the disk, not in boot sector.
Thanks a lot.
