 |
|
I have two hard drives, hda and hdb. On hda, I already have Windows installed, and on hdb I already have Gentoo installed. The jumpers on hdb are set to Slave, and the Windows HD is the master. Both installs are succesful, I just don't know how to configure the bootloader. I tried | Code: | root (hd1, 0)
setup (hd0)
quit |
, but all that does is bring up "Grub Loading" then a blank screen for a couple of seconds, and then Windows boots up by default. How can I add Grub to the MBR?
Thanks in advance

Try this
| Code: |
grub
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
|
After the root command you should get some feedback about the filesystem type. After setup, you should see something about the MBR. |

Oops! That's what it should have said in the first place, what I wrote was a typo -- I don't even think it would work. I'll edit the first post to make the correction. Thanks for pointing that out.
So, yeah, even this (correct) version still doesn't work =/ It goes to a blank, blinking cursor for 30 seconds, then boots Windows. Anyone else?
