Grub-floppy problem with PCLOS-2007

#1 Post by vma2408 » Thu Jul 10, 2008 1:13 pm

I'm trying to create a GRUB boot floppy-disk for my T42, of PCLOS 2007, using the instructions contained in:
http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/ ... howto_make
Things go reasonably well up to the line "grub> find /boot/grub/stage1", where Grub cannot find the 'stage1' file on the floppy. This file definitely is there and Grub also addresses the floppy during the 'find' process, but somehow can't see the file. Or, if it can see it, Grub apparently does not recognise it as a correct file. The FDD is a USB device, I've changed BIOS to allow boot from it (and, in fact, BIOS can boot from it; I've tried that with a Win95 mini-system), and now I'm stumped :roll: . Can anyone help me further down the line? Thanks.
