Right, so when I've finished copying the partitions to the new disk, I swap |
| 25 |
the disks and boot with the Gentoo live CD and follow the instructions from |
| 26 |
the install handbook: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Default: Setting up GRUB using grub-install |
| 29 |
To install GRUB you will need to issue the grub-install command. However, |
| 30 |
grub-install won't work off-the-shelf since we are inside a chrooted |
| 31 |
environment. We need to create /etc/mtab which lists all mounted filesystems. |
| 32 |
Fortunately, there is an easy way to accomplish this - just copy |
| 33 |
over /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab, excluding the rootfs line if you haven't |
| 34 |
created a separate boot partition. The following command will work in both |
| 35 |
cases: |
| 36 |
Code Listing 5: Creating /etc/mtab |
| 37 |
# grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Now we can install GRUB using grub-install: |
| 40 |
Code Listing 6: Running grub-install |
| 41 |
# grub-install --no-floppy /dev/hda |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
If you have more questions regarding GRUB, please consult the GRUB FAQ or |
| 44 |
the GRUB Manual. |
| 45 |
Continue with Rebooting the System. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Cheers! |
