Try this command and yours should look something like this: |

| 43 |
root@fireball / # ls -al /boot/grub/stage* |
| 44 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Jun 2 2012 /boot/grub/stage1 |
| 45 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128116 Jun 2 2012 /boot/grub/stage2 |
| 46 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128116 Jun 2 2012 /boot/grub/stage2_eltorito |
| 47 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128116 Jun 2 2012 /boot/grub/stage2.old |
| 48 |
root@fireball / # |
