Hi william, If grub is installed. So you can mount your CF card, un-tar your tarball in CF-mounted directorty. Then you install grub with something like : echo -e 'root (hd0,0)\nsetup (hd0)'|grub --batch I have done this kind of command, but I don't remember exactly syntax. man grub is your friend. Hope this can help you. Regards, - Christophe -
