 | | | restore /boot directory | restore /boot directory 2004-10-24 - By LeRoy M. Dorman
Back
Actually it was /dev/sda1. I was typing from my notes, since there was
nothing to cut-and-paste from.
I had initially set up a partition (on an ide disk) to use as a "boot
controller"
but I outsmarted myself and blitzed /boot on the Linux disk. I had
labeled that
partition /boot, totally lacking originality. After my shattered
nerves heal I may try to do the separate partition thing again, but not now.
BTW, What is the future of shrike? Will it be a Plan 9 thing? What
fraction of
folks are moving to Fedora or the Enterprise thing. Is the enterprise
version
really more stable (whatever that means)?

<pre wrap=""> I think you can use those lines as the basis for a revived

Is the / mountpoint really on /dev/sda? It's as if you set up a file
system on /dev/sda without partitioning it. I don't see anything wrong
with that, but it's unusual.

So can I use these as the basis for a revived /boot/grub/grub.conf?
That is just copy them into the file?
Or is there a way to get anaconda to regenerate the grub.conf file without
re-installing the system.
