Is the the incorrect config file for Grub?
I'm using it like this: grub < /boot/grub/menu
--- /boot/grub/menu ---------------
title= Linux HD Install
install= (fd0)+1 (fd0) (fd0)/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 p
root= (hd0,6)
kernel= /boot/kernel root=/dev/hda6
-----------------------------------
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 ------
GRUBÂ version 0.5.96.1Â (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
 [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
  lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
  completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> title= Linux HD Install
Error 27: Unrecognized command
grub> install= (fd0)+1 (fd0) (fd0)/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 p
Error 6: Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2
grub> root= (hd0,6)
Error 22: No such partition
grub> kernel= /boot/kernel root=/dev/hda6
Error 12: Invalid device requested
grub>
-----------------------------------------------
This program is very complicated and any help would be appreciated. A link to a GOOD howto will help too.
Thanks,
Chris
