Hello,

I'm installing GRUB into MBR after some unsuccessful (for MBR part) HDD cloning. Now I have (in the server) 1 HDD w/all filesystems ready, and want to install GRUB into MBR. grub-install is in separate /usr HDD partition.

I loaded in rescue mode from SuSE 9.0 for x86-64 distribution media. I mounted root-FS under /mnt mounting point; mkdir /usr2 and mount "usr" p?rtition (/dev/hda5) w/grub-install under /usr2 mount point. /usr2/sbin/grub-install contains references to /usr/blah/..., so I changed grub-install script w/replacing of all of the /usr occurences to /usr2.

But now ./grub-install --root-directory=/mnt --debug /dev/hda

finished w/errors like

/usr2/sbin/grub --batch --device-map=/mnt/boot/grub/device.map no such file or directory

Do you have a seperate /boot partition? Then you should mount it at /mnt/boot No, /boot is part of / (root filesystem)

Yours Mikhail

Sorry, where am I wrong - and what should I correct ?
