Attachment #49294 for bug #79219




if, by any chance, your hard drive becomes unusable (unbootable).

GRUB comes with boot images, which are normally put in the directory
@file{/usr/lib/grub}. If you do not use grub-install, then
you need to copy the files @file{stage1}, @file{stage2}, and
@file{*stage1_5} to the directory @file{/boot/grub}, and run the
@command{grub-set-default} (@pxref{Invoking grub-set-default}) if you
intend to use @samp{default saved} (@pxref{default}) in your
configuration file. Hereafter, the directory where GRUB images are
initially placed (normally @file{/usr/lib/grub}) will be
called the @dfn{image directory}, and the directory where the boot
loader needs to find them (usually @file{/boot/grub}) will be called
the @dfn{boot directory}.


@example
@group
# @kbd{cd /usr/lib/grub}
# @kbd{dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1}
1+0 records in
1+0 records out

Copy the file @file{stage2_eltorito}:

@example
$ @kbd{cp /usr/lib/grub/stage2_eltorito iso/boot/grub}
@end example

If desired, make the config file @file{grub.conf} under @file{iso/boot/grub}
