Hi List,

I have belatedly made the change from lilo to grub carefully
converting my lilo config to grub'ese. It seems to work as
expected.

However, I have a couple of questions which I cannot track down
in any off-line source (man, info, howto's etc.) and I am not
able to trawl google or list archive with a time-limited
unmetered dial-up connection at present.

1. In lilo I always used the boot-floppy option so as not to
upset WinME. How do I do something similar in grub?

Not sure what you mean from this question;

-If you want to boot from a floppy by grub, at the grub prompt
do:

rootnoverify (fd0)
chainloader +1
boot

Or (better) add these lines to your grub config file:

title Boot from floppy
      rootnoverify (fd0)
      chainloader +1

-If you want to have a bootable grub floppy, in the linux shell
try:

mke2fs /dev/fd0
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/floppy /dev/fd0
umount /dev/fd0
