I have two disks in my system (neither of which are Linux).
Disk 1: Windows 7 on (Sata connection 1)
Disk 2: VMWare ESXi (Sata connection 2)
The only way I could get grub (1.98) installed on the Windows 7 disk was
to install cygwin and use the grub utilities there.
I did a grub-install and then grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
---
After rebooting, I was taken to the grub> prompt
which was very unexpected.
I should have been given a graphical selection of the two OS's on the
two disks that I have.
=> It was not possible to install grub using CentOS 5.6 live CD or
CentOS 5.6 Installation CD so had to use cygwin.
If it is possible to get a simple graphical display of the OS's please
let me know.
Also with the grub-install there was no defaults file provided
anywhere. All the documentation suggests there would be a
/etc/default/grub file but there is none.
In fact there is no /default/ directory at all but rather a /defaults/
directory.
