Hi, |
| 25 |
Do you have floppy drive? I am not sure what was actuall message of |
| 26 |
grub while trying to probe non-existent floppy drive but try running it |
| 27 |
with --no-floppy switch. I've seen broken grub-install scripts that did |
| 28 |
not respect this though. If so, then your only option is to try to |
| 29 |
install grub manually by using 'grub' command (search the web for details). |

Cheers, |
| 32 |
Radek. |
