RE: Re (2): Grub on a Micron Trek 2.

[Alexander Berg]

Hi Peter,

Hi,

I can't tell anything about the errors, but have you tried:
  chainloader (hd0,msdos5)+1
  boot

Are you sure that there is a bootloader in the first byte(?) of the fifth
partition? 
As far as I know chainload does only load something into memory and tries to
execute it. 

What OS (or "code") do you want to run from this partition?


Regards,

sashab

grub> ls

The machine has only 128 MiB and the Debian installer declines to work. 
I can add memory and install Deb Wheezy ... although in principle Grub
should be able to function without Linux.

BootManager a preferred alternative.

Installation of Grub was convenient when the hdd was being partitioned on
the Debian system; not essential.

This machine also doesn't shutdown cleanly and I wonder whether it has an
anomalous behaviour of BIOS or hardware.  Beyond my knowledge really.

Thanks for the interest,              ... Peter E.
