I like to create a linux installation on an external hard drive, which is bootable on any system, the drive is pluged in. I have no idea, how to create the mbr on this drive with grub legacy. In my opinion, the bootable partition (with /boot/grub/...) must be referenced relativ to the drive with the booting mbr or by uuid or something similar.
If i try to create the mbr by e.g. # mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt # grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdd it seems that there will be set an absolute reference to e.g. (hd4,0) in the mbr, which must fail on an other system with a different drive configuration... _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
