Nothing but GRUB

[deleeuw]

Hey all,
I had installed RedHat 7.3 on a second physical harddrive. In order to avoid overwriting my boot record on my first physical hd, a disconnected it
(OK, so I'm paranoid!). With the first hd reconnected, I boot up,
(which uses the Free BSD boot manager) and choose the option that corresponds to linux. The only that comes up is
GRUB.
This is NOT a prompt: I can't type anything at all.
The good news is that I can boot with my boot floppy.
I checked the grub.conf: seems OK (placing the boot in hdc, which is correct).

the boot partition is on the first physical partition (the drive that has FeeBSD, Win98, and Win2k)

grub.conf looks OK:
boot=/dev/hdc
root (hd0,0)
(has the standard lines listing kernel et al, listing the boot at /dev/hdc2)

I tried changing the first line to
boot=/dev/hdc2
--same problem

I tried changing the second reference to the boot to match the top

boot=/dev/hdc
--same problem

I figured both references to boot are to be the same.

So now what? Is it possible to copy the info from my boot disk to my the hd, so that I can boot normally?

Or is it possible to reload GRUB w/o having to reinstall Linux?


Thx

If Linux is installed on hdc, try changing

root (hd0,0)

to

root (hd1,3)

if you have Grub installed in hdc2

hd0 - hda
hd1 - hdb
hd2 - hdc
hd3 - hdd

,0 - first partition
,1 - second partition
,2 - third partition

hd0 by itself is the mbr of hda.

Adjust as necessary.
