Renaming GRUB stage1 and stage2...

[Tora OS]

Ive been reading over the various documents, but there is one thing i cant figuer out....

Can I have grub stage1 and stage2 be a different file name?


for example:

Code: Select all

install=(fd0)/BOOT (fd0) (fd0)/GRUB 0x8000 p (fd0)/BOOT.INI

instead of the typical:

Code: Select all

install=(fd0)/boot/grub/stage1 (fd0) (fd0)/boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 p (fd0)/boot/grub/menu.lst

^ I think i have the syntax right.

Thanks for the help....

Shouldn't be a problem. stage1 is just 512 bytes merged with the MBR's partition table, and stage2 is found by sector number, not file name. (Unless you use a stage1_5 IIRC.) So I don't see why renaming the files should make trouble.
