Grub installation
From EcoTux
[edit]
Howto install Grub in a compact flash
- Install the packet "grub" in your system. In Debian, for example,
apt-get install grub
- Prepare your CF (formatted with ext2 or ext3) and copy your system in.
- Assume your CF is /dev/sdb and is mounted on /media/cf.
- Install GRUB on the CF
sudo rm -f /media/cf/boot/grub/device.map (if it exists) sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/cf /dev/sdb
- Check /media/cf/boot/grub/device.map, it should look like:
(hd0) /dev/hda
- Create /media/cf/boot/grub/menu.lst, for example
- Note that grub will see the CF as
/dev/hda, but the system will use a different name:
| EcoTux Senior | /dev/hdd
|
| EcoTux Midi | /dev/hdb
|
| EcoTux Junior | /dev/hda
|
| EcoTux Junior w/serial ports | /dev/hdb
|

- Umount the CF
- Enjoy your system!
