I have a big trouble with GRUB~~~
I'm reading ˇ¶Getting to know GRUBˇ·from IBM developerwork.First,I need to make a bootdisk follow the article.OK,I type these command under console as root:
#mke2fs /dev/fd0
#mount /mnt/floppy
#mkdir /mnt/floppy/boot
#mkdir /mnt/floppy/boot
#cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage1 /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
#cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage2 /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
then I'm type:
#grub
grub>root (fd0)
Now,GRUB tell me it's a FAT disk. Oh,I'm remember I have used "mke2fs /dev/fd0 "command,so that I should have a ext2 filesystem disk.But why GRUB report it's FAT??
following:
grub>setup (fd0)
GRUB report :can't found stage1
Now,would someone tell why????
