Some of you may already know that setting up grub-legacy on Debian can
be imposable, I've been thinking about this for awhile now and how to
solve this problem that Ubuntu does not have.
So I added trusty main to my Jessie repos and installed trusty grub and
trusty grub-common, I had to do a force-install and an apt-hold on
grub-common to keep it from getting upgraded.
And then I started grub and ran
#find /boot/grub/stage1
#root (hd0,0)
#setup (hd0)
I was half expecting it not to work cause I don't know anyone else who
has tried this, but it worked and I booted it a few times until I was
convinced it was working. :)
Questions or suggestions?
Cheers,
