[ale] Grub

[Chris Fowler]

My 
main goal is to boat Linux off of a DiskOnChip2000 with FFS.  Anyone done 
this?

  Grub
  Is the the incorrect config file for Grub? 
  I'm using it like this: grub < /boot/grub/menu 
  --- /boot/grub/menu --------------- <FONT 
  size=2>title= Linux HD Install install= (fd0)+1 (fd0) 
  (fd0)/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 p root= (hd0,6) 
  kernel= /boot/kernel root=/dev/hda6 <FONT 
  size=2>----------------------------------- 
  Basically I want to create a floppy disk that does the 
  following 
  1. Loads Stage 1 2. Loads Stage 
  2 3. Executes the kernel 4. 
  The kernel mounts /dev/hda6 and runs init 
  I do not want the floppy disk to laod anything from the hard 
  drive.  I only wan the kernel the mount the hard drive and continue from 
  there.
  Below are my error messages 
  ------- Output of grub < menu ------ <FONT 
  size=2>GRUBÂ  version 0.5.96.1Â  (640K lower / 3072K upper 
  memory)

  This program is very complicated and any help would be 
  appreciated.  A link to a GOOD howto will help too. 
  Thanks, Chris
