Ok here's what I did in case anyone else has to do this: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Booted up ran a terminal session, when root and issued: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
grub-install /dev/hda <did not work> |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
so I mounted : mkdir /mnt/boot |
| 18 |
mount /dev/hda2 |
| 19 |
grub-install /dev/hda <did not work> |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
grub-install /mnt/dev/hda2 <did did not work> |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
grub /mnt/dev/hda2 <throws me into 'grub>'> |
| 24 |
grub> root (hd0,1) |
| 25 |
grub> setup (hd0) |
| 26 |
grub> quit |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
