Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add grub-install --restore option
Date: Wed,  6 Jan 2010 17:10:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1262769004-21960-2-git-send-email-yi.zhu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1262769004-21960-1-git-send-email-yi.zhu@intel.com>

From: Zhu Yi <chuyee@octavia.sh.intel.com>

Add the --restore option to restore the previous boot sectors from a
backup image (created by grub-setup). A simple `dd` won't work when
partitioning has been changed after the backup. In this case, a script
is useful as it only restores the MBR and the boot sectors overwritten
by core.img (embed region is excluded) to the install device. So this
method is recommended even for advanced users.
