No, and before I do, given the warnings in the manual, I want to make sure I |
| 36 |
don't screw up |
| 37 |
I have a standard partition layout with three partitions sda1 (boot) sda2 |
| 38 |
(swap) sda3 (the rest). sda1 is the bootable partition |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
So I issue the command grub-instal /dev/sda |
| 41 |
Correct?? |
