sarge installtion & sata devices
hi,
I am having trouble completing the installation of debian, from the sarge testing cd...
I cant get past the bootloader configuration... despite not knowing where to install it (ill explain later), it will only let me choose this once, and then each time i go back in, it will try and install it again on the same device, even though the initial try didnt work... and doesnt even ask me to try a new one??
I ran a shell to search for an installtion config file, but couldn't find one... does anyone know where this would be?
also, I have a serial ata (sata) hdd which is the other half of the problem... I do not know how grub addresses scsi devices. (I am assuming it gets treated as a scsi device). I know the path to the device file, of the partition I would like to install grub on, but i do not know how to translate it into grub...
/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/part2
The partition layout is as follows...
IDE1 - 40GB ide drive
part1 - 40 GB fat32 drive
IDE5 - 200GB sata drive
part1 - 100BG NTFS partition (windows xp)
part2 - 100MB ext3 partition /boot (would like to install grub here)
part3 - 93GB ext3 partition /
part5 - 2GB swap logical partition
I would be most appreciative if someone could translate this into grub for me... and also advise how I can change the bootloader install location if I stuff it up, without having to reboot, and start the install again...
Thanks in advance,
Cyber
