Description Torgeir Hansen 2002-09-26 13:15:49 UTC

Code listing 49:
# mke2fs /dev/fd0
# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
# mkdir /mnt/floppy/boot
# cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage1 /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
# cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage2 /mnt/floppy/boot/grub

this is obviously missing `mkdir /mnt/floppy/boot`, or one would first copy the
file stage1 to the _file_ grub, and the same with stage2. ;)

I think grub is dir so better is:
...
# mkdir -p /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
# cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage1 /mnt/floppy/boot/grub/
# cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage2 /mnt/floppy/boot/grub/

If is OK for you will add it to the guide.
