However, I've been unable to install grub using either grub-install or setup. I get an error 'unable to mount partition' I'm able to boot the os from a grub floppy with no problems. grub> rootnoverify (hd0,0) grub> chainloader +1 grub> boot does that job without problems However if I try to install grub directly onto (hd0) it fails: The sequence I see goes like this: Insert floppy disk with grub installed on it. At grub command line: find /grub/grub.conf (to verify root partition) (hd0,1,a) root (hd0,1) setup (hd0) Cannot mount selected partition setup (hd0,1) Cannot mount selected partition Am I correct in thinking grub can be installed onto a disk containing openbsd? If so, how is it done?
