After system-installation I run grub and type setup (hd0) it says that it cannot mount hda. (because it's got NTFS on it).
I need to boot multiple systems so I tried to make a GRUB bootdisc but /dev/fd0 does not exist!!! There is only an f directory in /dev which does not help. How can It be that there are no /dev/fdx links?
