Dual boot issue with external hard drive
I want to install RedHat 9 onto an external hard drive on my laptop. From what I've gathered from many people's warnings, if I try to use grub as my boot loader, I will always have to have my external hard drive connected to be able to boot, even if I wish to solely boot to my internal drive. This doesn't seem quite correct and I wanted to see if anyone had any info as to how to go about this.
Thanks in advance! |
"if I try to use grub as my boot loader, I will always have to have my external hard drive connected to be able to boot, even if I wish to solely boot to my internal drive."
You have to have whichever hard drive that contains /boot/grub/grub.conf connected when you boot. ___________________________________ Be prepared. Create a LifeBoat CD. http://users.rcn.com/srstites/LifeBo...home.page.html Steve Stites |
so if I repartion my internal primary hard drive to allow just enough space to run my /boot partion on it, I should be fine... not sure if its more of a statement or question, but it does makes sense.
thanks Steve! |
