When I try that it complains about /dev/root not existing.

So basically if I'm not chrooted I don't have a stage1 file to put into the MBR. If I am chrooted then it doesn't know how to access the drive. Seems like a catch 22.
I also tried to do a mount -t bind /mnt/boot /boot. With that /boot/grub/stage1 looks good to me, but grub still complains as above.
I swear I've done this several times before, but now nothing is working.
you need use "root (hd0,6)", not "root (hd0,7)" if your root partition is on /dev/hda7. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
