[Newlug] grub

Ok, you have linux on one of your hard drive partions.  Grub should find it.
Ther first thing you'll need is to make a grub boot floppy.

according to the grub manual
cd /usr/share/grub/i386-pc
dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1

boot your computer with this floppy.

At the grub prompt type

find /boot/grub/stage1

This will print where grub is on the hard drives.  You will then take the 
output of that and put it in the next command. Where x is the numbers from 
that output.

root(hdx,x)
setup(hd0)

The find command should find any /boot/grub/stage1 files even if you have 
more than one which I have.  So I used the one I use the most.  The 
root(hdx,x) tells grub to boot this partition.  Setup will install grub on 
the MBR of the primary hard drive.

I finally wrote those three commands down and put it in some notes I have for 
things I want tor remember how to do.  Since it's not every day I'm 
installing grub.

If it boots let me know.  I hope it does.
