Grub

I'm sorry, I've forgotten you have to tell grub which
partition should it use for the /boot directory. Since
Knoppix does not use any hard drive partitions by
default, you have to mount your boot partition (or
your root partition, if you do not have separate /boot)
somewhere and tell grub to install it's files there.
I recommend this:
1) if you have separate boot partition, just mount it
over Knoppix's /boot and run
Code:
grub-install (hd0)
2) if you do NOT have separate /boot (ie. you have
only the root partition (/) and maybe others, but not
/boot), mount your root somewhere (afaik Knoppix
have some autodetection and those dirs are placed in
/mnt, you just have to mount them) and run
Code:
grub-install --root-directory=path/to/mounted/root (hd0)
That should do the trick.. But better check the
boot/grub/menu.lst if all your systems are present.
