Hi:
After reading the yellow pages on Multi-boot I've gone with Ranish Partition Manager (RPM). It lets me create as many as 31 primary partitions and place them in the MBR (four at a time) in any order I want. This is because I already have one W2k, two Wxp installs and intend to install 6 diferent flavors of
(Ubuntu, Mandriva, OpenSuse, Debian, Gentoo) in case I run into hardware or config. problems or I just like any distribution better than the other.
My first HD is 80 Gb is currently like this:
W2k NTFS 2 Gb
Wxp1 NTFS 6 Gb
Wxp2 NTFS 6 Gb
ProgFiles NTFD 9 Gb
Ubuntu 6.06 ext3 4 Gb
My second HD is also 80 Gb and has 3 primary partitions:
Swap Partition Swap 1 Gb
Media Fat32 40 Gb
Docs Fat 32 29 Gb
So I made the Ubuntu partition HD1 6.0 Gb (sda1), and swap on HD2 (sdb1) visible and placed de Ubuntu CD on the DVD Drive, rebooted and installed with no errors. Installed \ on HD1 (sda1) and swap on HD2 (sdb1). Rebooted and Grub hanged. Again....Hanged.
Not only that, grub replaced RPM in the MBR as the boot loader of choice. After fixing RPM in MBR I went trought the install process again to check if there is an option to place grub in \, or in \boot, but couldn't find it as in the first install.
I've seen this option available for other distros (FC6).
DO YOU KNOW OF A WAY (IN UBUNTU 6.06 LTS) TO PLACE GRUB ANYWHERE BUT IN THE FIRST SECTOR OF THE DISK???
Thanks in advance...
