Re: Win98 still boot, where is grub?

[Christoph Plattner]

In which way do you have installed GRUB.
You could have a problem to take (hd0,0) as GRUB may map IDE devices
first. The best way is to boot GRUB from floppy and do a setup on this
state of boot (stage1 and stage2 has to be on one disk...). Then
run 
        setup (hdN) (hdR,i)

Where N is the boot drive (in your case the SCSI drive). To find
        out, which drive your SCSI drive is, use

        root (hd<TAB>

        or 
        
        root (hd0<TAB>

        then 

        root (hd1<TAB>

        and so on. GRUB will display the partitions and tpyes, so
        you can find out, which disk is which one...

Where R is the disk holding the files stage1 and stage2. In this
        configuration with stage1 and stage2, 
        R should or must be equal N
        
        R = N !

Where i is the partition, where the tree `/boot/grub/stage[12]' and
        `/boot/grub/menu.lst' is.

Example:

        GRUB (stage1 and stage2) are copied to the SCSI harddisk,
        partition 2. GRUB maps IDE first, then ...

        setup (hd2) (hd2,1)

        Will do the job.

For Offline GRUB (grub on the commandline of Linux) use the file
`/boot/grub/device.map' with the following contents:

        (hd0) /dev/sda
        (hd1) /dev/hda
        (hd2) /dev/hdb

This configuration should fit your requirement. If the file is located
on `/boot/grub' and is called `device.map' GRUB on the command line
finds it automatically, otherwise you have to use the option 
`--device-map=FILE'.

With friendly regards
