Hi, Now that the gentoo installation process involves creating a _SEPARATE_ boot partition, the GRUB setup statement in the installation manual needs to be extended. Currently the manual reads: "setup (hd0)" With a separate boot partition this results in an error 15 (File not found) on the stage1 file. It should read: "setup (hd0) (hd0,4)" where the second parameter identifies the boot partition. It took me a while to figure this out. ;-) Regards, Toon.
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.
