I have not had this problem. IIRC, the setup(hd0) places the bootloader on the MBR, and GRUB uses the first partition on the disk //zhen Hi, You wrote: "...places the boot loader in MBR, and GRUB uses the first partition on the disk." But who says that I used the first partition as the boot partition? I chose to use an extended partition (number 5, number 4 for GRUB). In this setup it only worked after I added the second parameter to the setup statement. I think there is nothing wrong with my setup. The first partition could already be occupied with this other OS. ;-) fixed, and thanks for the update. |
