Does anyone know of a way to have grub install to a floppy image rather than a real floppy device? Thanks...james
First, create an image file dd if=/dev/zero of=/floppy_image bs=1k count=1440
Then before you install grub you need: device (fd0) /path/to/floppy_image
From grub.info: "This command can be used only in the grub shell".
You will then have to use setup or install to install grub, depending on what kind of disk you are creating.
John.

Thanks John, I just could not find the magic syntax to send to an image rather than the real file. Will test in the mornings. Thanks again...james
