## <a name="Advanced_Grub"> Advanced Grub </a>
[Grub](http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/) is a capable boot loader. This document is intended to capture some of its most interesting features and try to explain them a bit better than the texinfo documentation.
### <a name="Debian_Grub"> Debian Grub </a>
The Debian grub packages do not have networking enabled, so you have to apt-get the source, modify the debian/rules file to include --enable-network-card and dpkg-buildpackage to get a .deb of grub that supports TFTP.
1. cd /usr/src/debian
2. apt-get source grub
3. cd grub-\_VERSION\_
4. Add `--enable-tulip` or similar for your NIC to the `./configure` line of the `configure-stamp` target in the `debian/rules` file.
5. `dpkg-buildpackage` (as `root`)
6. `cd ..`
7. `dpkg -i grub*.deb`
8. cp /lib/grub/\_ARCH\_/\* /boot/grub/, e.g., _ARCH_ is `i386-pc`
9. Edit your `/boot/grub/menu.lst` (see below)
10. If your boot disk is `/dev/hda` ==> `grub-install (hd0)`
### <a name="TFTP_Boot"> </a> TFTP Boot
Using trivial ftp to load a kernel is one of the best features of Grub. Here is how it is done.
The `menu.lst` can look something like this:
ifconfig --address=192.168.1.2 --server=192.168.1.1
root (nd)
kernel /gnu/boot/oskit-mach.gz root=device:hd0s2 --
root (hd0,1)
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)
**Note: Make sure there are NO spaces after the trailing backslases (\\)!!**
