24 A couple of more steps may be necessary before the chroot. Assuming
25 that your root is mounted on /mnt/root:
26
27 cd /mnt/root
28 mount --bind /dev dev
29 mount --bind /proc proc
30 mount --bind /sys sys
31 chroot ./ ./bin/bash
32 mount -a # only if /boot is a separate filesystem
33 grub-install /dev/hda
34 umount -a # only if /boot is a separate filesystem
35 exit
36 umount dev
37 umount proc
38 umount sys
39 cd ..
40 umount root
