To solve the kemap problem, before you begin you should type: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# loadkeys de-latin1-nodeadkeys |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I need to add this to the install guide. |

As for the GRUB problem, I think you are specifying the wrong root and boot |
| 17 |
partitions. GRUB's "root partition" is our "boot partition". |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Try this in grub: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
GRUB should then tell you what partitions it found stage1 on. This should |
| 24 |
be the partition you specify in the grub "root" command. I hope that helps. |
