Tiny Core Base > TCB Talk
not loaded menu.lst
arrio:
Hi, i installed Tinycore linux, and create a file /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst
default 0
timeout 10
title tinycore
kernel /boot/bzImage quiet
initrd /boot/tinycore.gz
but after reboot i see: Grub> _
i manually enter kernel /boot/bzImage quiet and then initrd /boot/tinycore.gz and linux loading ok. Why so? Why linux don't access to menu.lst file? Path for file is right...
Juanito:
Did you follow this part of the instructions:
--- Code: ---In the grub prompt,
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
--- End code ---
..assuming you're using hda1
arrio:
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists ... yes
checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists ... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage_1_5 (hd0)" ... 16 sectors are embedded. succeeded.
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2/boot/grub/menu.lst" .... succeeded
and after reboot so invitation:
grub> _ ....
when i try to tape
grub> root (hda1,0) - error 23: error while parsing number... root (hd1,0) - selected disk does not exist...
but after manually boot
FDISK -l:
boot system
/dev/hda1 * Linux
/dev/hda2 Extended
/dev/hda5 Linux

Because you didn't save it. I just had the same exact problem. When you save it after finishing your vi /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst press esc then ZZ "CAPITAL" ZZ .........Don't bother with :x , It didn't work for me.......
If after redoing it and you find it don't work just pop the cd in and type "microcore base" without the quotes, redo your hda1 and only your hda1........cfdisk /dev/hda and continue from there
I'm a newbie to and I know nothing but this is what help me so I hope it helps you out too 8).
Guy:
There is another way now. Easier for new users.
Open the terminal and type:
sudo editor
Type in the commands you require in Grub.
Save it as menu.lst in /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/
