Installing GRUB on hard drive........

[Alboin]

I've been working on creating a mini distro of sorts. (Basically getting Linux to boot off a hard drive and start bash.) Yet, I can't figure out how GRUB is installed on a hard drive.

I go through creating a hard disk image described in the Wiki. I format it to ext2, etc. Then, I create the GRUB tree after mounting it. (boot/grub/stagex and menu.lst) This doesn't work correctly, however..... When I boot it, it just spits out "GRUB" and dies. Anyone know why? I think I'm forgetting something, but I can't come to see what exactly...

Also, when booted with a GRUB floppy (Which gets me into the GRUB bash.) GRUB tells me

Code: Select all

Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition

after I type

Code: Select all

setup (hd0)

Anyone?

Thanks!
