Code: #grub --version grub (GNU GRUB 0.97) the this is my partition: Code: #fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 4629 37182411 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 4630 9729 40965750 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 4630 5904 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda6 5905 6096 1542208+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 6097 7246 9237343+ 83 Linux /dev/sda8 7247 9729 19944666 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 523 MB, 523321344 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 63 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 62 497983+ 83 Linux it can be seen that my CF car is at /dev/sdb1 so the frist question is, i should install GRUB to /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sdb right? then i read the Code: #info grub about the naming convention. so for my CF it should be hd1,0 -> refering to /dev/sdb1 (first partition of 2nd IDE drive) but why in the grub console, it is not recognized: Code: grub> root (hd1,0) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist any idea to install GRUB on the CF? thanks
