So I made the assumption that your part layout was /dev/sdb1 f10
system, /dev/sdb2 f12 system.
Option #1 Install grub to the MBR of /dev/sdb
Option #2 Install grub to the partition of /dev/sdb1
Lots of things you need to consider, one you dont want to break
Do you Chainload into mandriva aswell? is the Mandriva boot installed
to MBR /dev/sdd or in the partition /dev/sdd1?
Steps I would take:
:Reinstall grub to the MBR of /dev/sda and make sure that it has these 3 devices
-grub prompt in f10-
device (hd0) /dev/sda //f10
device (hd1) /dev/sdb //f12
device (hd2) /dev/sdd //mandriva
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
Option #1
:Reinstall grub to the MBR of /dev/sdb
device (hd0) /dev/sdb // This grub is isolated from the MBR one on
/dev/sda so I believe this is correct, I've never done something like
this personally, though I've messed around with grub alot
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
: Make sure all your entries in menu.lst for f10 are correct
# Again I think this is correct, though I haven't done anything like
this, I have chainloaded into grub installed to a partition, but not
into one installed to another MBR on a seperate drive
title Fedora 12
root (hd1,1)
chainloader (hd1)+1
Don't do anything till we have another exchange of dialog, my previous
message didn't take into account your non simple partition layout.
