The syntax is different from Lilo's and so to scratch my own itch I'm creating this quick reference. The [Grub manual](http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html) is another good reference. - -* update-grub is **Debian specific** and very nice. It will automatically create a /boot/grub/menu.lst file for the kernels in /boot/. It will also append a manually configured set for other partitions like the GNU/Hurd. -* grub-floppy is a **Debian specific** boot floppy creation script. -* mkbimage is a **Debian specific** boot disk image creation script. -* <http://khazad.dyndns.org/packages/grub-disk/> contains a Debian packaged makefile for creating CD & floppy images. Looks like it doesn't work properly. If you fix it, please send patches to the maintainer. -* essential GRUB commands & disk syntax - * root - * kernel - * module - * boot -* sample file - - title GNU/Linux - root (hd0,11) - kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18 root=/dev/hda12 ro - initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.18 - savedefault - - title GNU - root (hd0,15) - kernel /boot/oskit-mach root=device:hd0s16 -- - module /hurd/ext2fs.static \ - --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \ - --host-priv-port=${host-port} \ - --device-master-port=${device-port} \ - --exec-server-task=${exec-task} \ - -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume) - module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create) - savedefault - - title DOS - rootnoverify (hd0,0) - chainloader +1 - --- [[Main/GrantBow]] - 01 Oct 2002 <br /> -- [[Main/GrantBow]] - 22 Dec 2002 - -Another example, just as good, but a lot easier to read.
