I am running OS 11.3 and I want to create a boot CD so that if my boot partition is moved I can still boot from the boot CD and re-initialize grub again. Is there some easy to use utility which will enable me to do this ?
Is there not still the option to repair the bootloader on the openSUSE 11.3 DVD?
No, there is no such option for the 11.3 DVD. There is a Rescue System to which one can go. I guess I will have to try the Rescue System and grub commands if I can figure out what to mount and where the 'grub' shell or 'grub-install' resides once I login as root. Sorry, I leaned that after my posting here - being a bit cautions I am still happy with 11.2.
Till 11.2 and before I used GRUB2 form Ubuntu I that just
worked for me.
Or try some of the five other possibilities listed there (I was just content with the repair option): http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susebootfive.html ?
Method 1) <"Boot the installed system from the Installation DVD [except for <11.0]:
do not work for the 11.3 DVD since there is no Repair
System. Method 2) does not apply when having to re-initialize grub. I will follow the instructions for method 3).
I tried SGD but it is too confusing and arcane for me. When I asked it to show all grub systems it showed a menu of Linux systems with no indication which referred to what partition. Perhaps there is a way to get it to show the individual partitions.
Thanks for your help !
Hope it was any!
