Fresh install of gentoo as guest vm on win7 |
2 |
|
3 |
Configured kernel, fdisked like so: |
4 |
|
5 |
/dev/sda1 boot |
6 |
/dev/sda2 swap |
7 |
/dev/sda3 / |
8 |
|
9 |
set boot as bootable |
10 |
|
11 |
emerged various things... |
12 |
emerged grub and ran it |
13 |
|
14 |
grub |
15 |
root (hd0,0) |
16 |
|
17 |
setup (hd0,0) |
18 |
bla bla |
19 |
[...] |
20 |
succeeded |
21 |
|
22 |
|
23 |
Edited fstab |
24 |
|
25 |
/dev/sda1 /boot [...] |
26 |
/dev/sda2 swap [...] |
27 |
/dev/sda3 / [...] |
28 |
[...] |
29 |
|
30 |
But, when I remove the livecd and attempt to boot from hdd, its a |
31 |
total failure: |
32 |
|
33 |
FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted |
34 |
|
35 |
So it appears that as has always been the case, there is some PITA |
36 |
stopping up the works. |
37 |
|
38 |
So what is the trick here... one googled result says to boot with |
39 |
something containing gparted and set the boot partition |
40 |
bootable.. that cfdisk doesn't work. |
41 |
|
42 |
I used fdisk... is there anything to that claim.. or better yet what |
43 |
do I need to do here. |
