 Posted: Fri Sep 10, 2004 7:43 pm Post subject: Grub.conf editing after reboot |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm new to Gentoo and on my 10th attempt I think. This time I messed up the grub.conf file and I'm at the part of the install were you reboot the computer. I need to know how to get back into that file and edit it. I know where my mistake is and I can't get in to change it. Can someone please help?
Thx |

you can typeat the prompt once you have chrooted back into the system if you need to start from grub itself. If you just need to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf you will still have to chroot and make your edits then.

If you have rebooted, you need to boot from the live-cd again. Mount your partitions again and chroot to the environment, then edit your grub.conf by opening it
| Code: |
nano -w /boot/grub/grub.conf
|
make the changes, reboot and remove the cd. And boot into your gentoo

kardiackid, geniux has a much more detailed description than I and you should thank him... also, if you have not rebooted then go ahead and chroot and edit the file using nano.
