[NBLUG/talk] [Fwd: Boot loader]

[Mark Street]

Well..... at least we know the grub package is installed.

We may as well take the scenic route.  From a root shell run;

# which grub-install
System returns ->  /sbin/grub-install

NOTE - if you are not logged into a root shell with an 'su -' or logged in 
from a virtual terminal as root you will not see the grub-install program 
because it is not located in your search PATH, the $PATH variable is used to 
search for programs that run on the system.

After you grok that you are welcome to run the grub-install program located 
in /sbin and install the grub boot loader onto your system.

# /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda

or 

# cd /sbin
# ls grub*
# ./grub-install /dev/hda

Have a good weekend.
