<DIV>Hi.</DIV>
<DIV>I'm running a new system with a fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 on i386,
with GCC 3.3.3 and have been trying to install the GRUB 0.94 boot
loader.</DIV>
<DIV>Got the .tar.gz file, untarred it, and ran the configure script from the
grub-0.94 directory with no special options. Typed make and ran into a
message saying couldn't compile stage1. I looked around at all the
makefiles in the directories (stage1, stage2, utils, docs, grub) and did make
and then make install in each dir. After doing this in the grub directory,
I could run the grub program, and after going this in the docs directory I could
run man pages, and after make and make install in the utils directory I could
(try) and run grub-install and grub-terminfo, meaning these programs and docs
compiled nicley. It's the stage1 and 2 directories that are giving me
problems.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After typing just make (not make install) at the base (grub-0.94)
directory make gives a message: don't know how to make stage1. Stop.</DIV>
<DIV>I go into the stage1 directory and try make there with the exact same
message: don't know how to make stage1. Stop.</DIV>
<DIV>I go into the stage2 directory and try make there and make says: don't know
how to make pre_stage2. Stop.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I try to install grub nonetheless and after running grub-install
/dev/ad0a1a (the partision I want grub on) I get the message:
/usr/local/share/grub/i386-unknown/stage1: Not found.</DIV>
<DIV>Needless to say, no luck installing grub. I have tried make clean in
all the directories, and tried again with no avial. The man pages and
online docs were not helpful in this regard (although they were in other times
I've used grub). My guess is, once the pre_stage2 compiles, stage1 will
compile, and the stage1 file will be found by the grub installer? How can
I get this pre stage 2 to compile, what am I missing? Am I doing something
wrong? I am not a developer, but did peek in the makefiles, configure
scripts, and installer scripts and did not find anything strange.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How can I install grub?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>TIA,<BR>ShadowEyez</DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
