Hi Gayal Rupasinghe and Jim Cornette!
Gayle, Jim has it pretty much right I think.
The chainload of Ubuntu (sort of a "stop looking
here and start fresh
right there!) should see a Fresh MBR (this is were I
have a bit of a
question since I can only see an MBR as being
generated for the first
sector of the disk) immediately followed (and
referenced in the MBR)
by a file within your current /boot/grub called
"reiserfs_stage1_5".
In every Ubuntu installation I have looked at stage
1.5 I have found
immediately following the MBR (MBR sector 1, Stage
1.5 sector 2). I
believe it could be located anywhere as long as you
pointed to that
location within the MBR.
The grub boot sequence is Stage 1 - the Master Boot
Record - which
points to Stage 1.5 which is sort of a connector
enabling the file
system intended ("reiser" in this case) - Stage 2 -
GRUB proper.
The stage 1.5 I reference above is a bit less than
eighteen 512 byte
sectors long. I do not know where the partition
file tables start. I
guess I am saying that if it were me I would look a
bit further before
I did indeed transfer stage 1.5 to "just after the
MBR of the Ubuntu
partition". I am talking a bit above my knowledge
and experience
(although I am suspicious it would work).
Good Hunting!
Tod
