 Posted: Fri May 03, 2002 1:56 pm Post subject: Second HD Gentoo Install? |
 |
|
I currently run RH7.2 on HDA, I just got a 4 gig HD from my spare computer and Gentoo was recommended. My concern is that I would like to put Gentoo on HDB and not have it mess up the grub loader already in place.
Is this possible? If so should I just follow the install.faq but replace hda with hdb?
Thanks
Rastar
P.S. I have downloaded the latest version iso and dropped it to a cd that should work just fine right? |

- Yep, it is possible.
- Yes, you should just replace it in the install.faq
With Grub I'm not sure. I use Boot-us boot all linux loaders. But it should be possible to boot RH and Gentoo from one Grub installation.

Normally it does. Some people have problems booting from the CD, but a search in this forum will give you the solution may it happens to you.

for grub, just completely ignore the grub installation instructions. Instead, edit your redhat grub configuration file and add a line like: | Code: |
title=Gentoo
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb1
|
of course you need to customize depending on which partition of hdb your root and boot filesystems are, but this should get you started. |
