Hi all, i want to know if I'm using grub or lilo in a specific machine. I cannot reboot it. I know grub is installed and is configured properly for the new kernel (i know this is a very strong clue). But I know also that this machine was initially installed with lilo.
My question is: Is there a way to read the master boot record and gather informations that prove wich boot loader is configured there? I have found a little bash script on the internet who unsuccessfully tries to do this: #!/bin/bash #Attention: this didn't work for me!! dd if=/dev/hda bs=1024 count=1 | grep GRUB if [ $? = 0 ]; then echo "GRUB" else echo "not GRUB" fi I noticed it doesn't work since i ran it in a system wich I'm shure is installed with grub and I ran it on the correct boot device, /dev/sda1 in my case, and it didn't find any GRUB string. If someone knows any trick, let me know.
