To avoid automounting and autoinstalling with /boot, |
| 18 |
just export the DONT_MOUNT_BOOT variable. |

*** IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run grub and install |
| 23 |
the new version's stage1 to your MBR. Until you do, |
| 24 |
stage1 and stage2 will still be the old version, but |
| 25 |
later stages will be the new version, which could |
| 26 |
cause problems such as an unbootable system. |
| 27 |
This means you must use either grub-install or perform |
| 28 |
root/setup manually! For more help, see the handbook: |

To interactively install grub files to another device such as a USB |
| 33 |
stick, just run the following and specify the directory as prompted: |
| 34 |
emerge --config =grub-0.97-r6 |
| 35 |
Alternately, you can export GRUB_ALT_INSTALLDIR=/path/to/use to tell |
| 36 |
grub where to install in a non-interactive way. |
