GRUB How to, Step no.3 does not work

[jason7007]

Hi,

I am learning how to write GRUB into floppy, I went to this link
http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.php/GRUB

On step no. 3 it has this statement:
install (fd0)/boot/stage1 (fd0) (fd0)/boot/stage2 (fd0)/boot/menu.cfg

But when I checked the boot disk, the file menu.cfg is not there.

What's wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Unless I'm missing something, step 4 should answer your question.

Try download a GRUB image from Bonafide

QuiTeVexat had the right answer. The installation process doesn't create the config file, it just tells GRUB where to expect it.

Hi,

Ahhhh, the tutorial did not tell to create manually the menu.cfg.

Anyway I am done with this.

Thank you very much.

Hi,
I am successfull in running GRUB and my kernel from real floppy disk. But now I tried to run it in Bochs, it did not work.
I used WinImage to create an image from my floppy.

Can someone tell how to make an image for Bochs from a real floppy.
Inside my boot floppy disk I have this directory and files.
Dir : boot
Files inside boot:
stage1
stage2
menu.cfg
kernel.bin


Thank you.
