[-- Attachment #1 --] Hey, A few days ago there was a thread about GRUB. This is mostly unrelated but I saw there was a fair bit of interest so I am hoping I might be able to get some help. From the GRUB manual page (http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub-0.92/html_mono/grub.html#Creating%20a%20GRUB%20boot%20floppy) I am told to run dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 && dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1 in order to build myself a GRUB boot floppy. I have attempted this to find: root@turtle /usr/local/share/grub/i386-freebsd # dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 512 bytes transferred in 1.303267 secs (393 bytes/sec) root@turtle /usr/local/share/grub/i386-freebsd # dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1 dd: /dev/fd0: Invalid argument 206+1 records in 206+0 records out 105472 bytes transferred in 4.463077 secs (23632 bytes/sec) root@turtle /usr/local/share/grub/i386-freebsd # Basically I get dd: /dev/fd0: Invalid argument when I attempt to run the second command. Why should this be the case? I have attempted to boot with this disk just the same but, as I expected, it did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -lewiz. -- `Linux is for people who hate Microsoft.
