Hi,
I would like to install GRUB on a floppy.
The command on a multiboot howto give this--
grub-install '(fd0)'   GRUB not very happy with this

On the GRUB man this is the command
  grub --install-partition=PAR
I can not find the correct sequence of the option?
Somewhere the floppy should be in the option????
How do -partition be considered?
=PAR ????
I do this from /boot/grub
Please kindly if possible the correct way to do the option for floppy

I do it from the HD what I was supposed to do from floppy - it works
- every time have to remove drive 1 to do on drive 2 -put back drive
1

etc-



quite a nuisance -but I would like the floppy way for testing.
Thanks
Johan

Johan.
You might find this link of some use.

You have to register but it's clear, simple and effective or at least
it has been for me.  I believe it covers your requirements.

Also check the "info grub-install" and

============== Whoo hooo! I answered a question! heheh

We knew you could do it, Ian!
