Problem

• Initial Installation of the GRUB Boot Manager on a x86 box

Solution

• RedHat uses the following command for the initial installation of GRUB:

  grub: root(hd0,0)
  grub: install /grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2 p (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf
  

• Fedora Core 2 requires the following command to install GRUB:

  grub: root(hd0,0)
  grub: find /grub/stage1
  grub: setup (hd0)
  

  This assumes that /boot is on a separate partition on /dev/hda; if it is just a subdirectory of the / partition, then use:

  grub: find /boot/grub/stage1
  

  instead.
