From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 Description of problem: Please add grub-install to the system that results from booting the install CD-ROM with "linux rescue". I really missed grub-install yesterday when I expected to use it. If the functionality is subsumed by something else, then please put in a shell script something like: ----- #!/bin/sh cat <<!EOF! See http://... [direct, specific link to grub manual+guide] The most common rescue usage is something like $ grub (grub) ... [give specific commands for installing on /dev/hda, and on current /dev/hdb for later use as /dev/hda] !EOF! exit 1 # this was not the real grub-install, so do not succeed ----- which can fit into a small number of bytes, yet be very helpful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.0-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot CD-ROM #1 with "linux rescue" 2.Try to invoke grub-install. 3. Actual Results: bash: grub-install: command not found Expected Results: grub-install invoked. Additional info:
You have to run grub-install from inside your chroot for it to work correctly (ie, chroot /mnt/sysimage as instructed and then you can run grub-install and have it work sanely)
