Hello, list.I have attempted to install the new grub-pc on to my lappy, running Sid. However, what comes up during boot is the legacy grub. I assume that I need to do a grub-install hd0,1 (the boot partition is on hda1), but I want to make sure I'm right before I bork my system.
There is currently an option to chainload in to grub2, but it claims that the file core.img doesn't exist, which is uttur rubbish.My search for Debian-specific documentation has been fruitless, so any aid will be much appriciated.
Thanks.-- —A watched bread-crumb never boils.—My hover-craft is full of eels.—[...]and that's the he and the she of it.
