Hi, |
| 2 |
OK, the target machine is now rebuilt. I decided since I had to |
| 3 |
rebuild both WinXP and Gentoo that I'd just put them on the same hard |
| 4 |
drive. The Gentoo install is complete right up to the point where I |
| 5 |
run grub and write it somewhere and I want to make sure I understand |
| 6 |
the right way to do this. |

|

The disk layout is like this |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
(MBR) - Win XP |
| 11 |
/dev/hda1 - Win XP |
| 12 |
/dev/hda2 - extended partition |
| 13 |
/dev/hda5 - /boot |
| 14 |
/dev/hda6 - swap |
| 15 |
/dev/hda7 - / |
| 16 |
/dev/hda8 - /home |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Now, my question, where do I write grub? I believe it's into the |
| 19 |
MBR and not into partition 1, correct? If so I'd use: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
grub |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
grub> root (hd0,4) |
| 24 |
grub> setup (hd0) (Install GRUB in the MBR) |
| 25 |
grub> quit |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Is this correct? |
| 28 |

Thanks, |
