I was going by: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
"13.3.4 chainloader |
| 19 |
— Command: chainloader [--force] file |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Load file as a chain-loader. Like any other file loaded by the |
| 22 |
filesystem code, it can use the blocklist notation to grab the first |
| 23 |
sector of the current partition with `+1'. If you specify the option |
| 24 |
--force, then load file forcibly, whether it has a correct signature |
| 25 |
or not. This is required when you want to load a defective boot |
| 26 |
loader, such as SCO UnixWare 7.1 (see SCO UnixWare). " |
| 27 |
<http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#chainloader> |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
which is far less informative from my POV than the info message you |
| 30 |
quoted. I did refer to the manual, just the wrong one, apparently :) |
