| | GNU GRUB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | GNU GRUB ("GRUB" for short) is a multiboot boot-loader software package from the GNU project. | | | Systems administrators can also deploy the GRUB on a floppy disk. | | | Such a header consists of 32 bits of "magic" number, 32 bits of flags, a further 32 bits of magic number, followed by data about the executable image. |

| | How-To: GRUB to Boot FreeBSD, Linux, and OpenBSD |
| | GRUB identifies hard disks by "hd" and floppy disks as "fd" followed by a number starting from 0. | | | With GRUB, you might say all you need to do is change any (hd0) reference to (hd1) and all the commands that work on the first disk will work on the second. | | | GRUB and its menu load from a floppy much faster than FreeBSD, Linux, or OpenBSD, boot from floppy. |

| | OS-FAQ Wiki - GRUB |
| | GRUB can handle a variety of filesystems from MS-DOS FAT systems over Linux ext2fs (Second Extended File System) to BSD FFS, and can load kernels in various binary formats, including "generic" ELF, FreeBSD a.out, flat binary, and "generic" executable's (any file with a valid multiboot header). | | | Installing GRUB as your system bootloader depends heavily on your system setup and is beyond the scope of this tutorial. | | | GRUB How-To This tutorial will show you how to install GRUB and your self-made kernel on a floppy disk, to avoid screwing up your hard drive. |

| | GNU GRUB FAQ - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) |
| | GRUB counts partitions from zero, while almost all operating systems count from one. | | | Yes, GRUB's device syntax is very different from others, but somewhat resembles DOS and Windows 98. | | | He couldn't work on GRUB because of some other tasks, so the current maintainer Gordon Matzigkeit took over the maintainership, and opened the development in order for everybody to participate it. |

| | LWN: LILO vs. GRUB |
| | GRUB is, according to its developers, alpha-quality software. | | | This method is more risky than the method used by GRUB because a mis-configured LILO configuration file may leave the system unbootable (a popular way to fix this problem is to boot from Knoppix or another live CD, chroot into the partition with mis-configured lilo.conf and correct the problem). | | | Grub has a long way to go before I would consider using it, though I like the concept of grub and hope that they can implement these simple features before long. |

| | GNU is similar in nature to any Unix-like system: after logging in, the user is presented with a shell and the familiar Unix VFS (virtual filesystem). | | | Being familiar with the Unix environment (and especially GNU userland, found in popular variants such as GNU/Linux) is an imperative for feeling at ease in GNU. | | | The ${var} are filled in by GNU Mach. |

| | GNU GRUB splashimage howto |
| | It has recently been brought to my attention by Yoshinori K. Okuji, that the GNU Project developers "strongly recommend that contributors assign or disclaim their copyrights, but that that is not a requirement" and that "if [the contributors/patchers] don't want to do that", GNU developers will still "accept them" (the patches, contributions, etc). | | | My e-mail to Jason Thomas, which is Debian's GRUB package mantainer, and to Paolo, the author of the splashimage patch got forwarded to the the GRUB bug-brug mailing list and that seemed to get things rolling. | | | The reason has to do with lawsuits so that should a company/entity violate GPL software belonging to the GNU project, the task of the FSF to carry out a lawsuit would be easier. |

| | Boot Linux from a FireWire device |
| | Because of the fact that SBP support uses SCSI emulation, the emulated SCSI bus need to be "rescanned" in order to detect the disk and allow /dev/sda1 to be mounted. | | | For example, I have the SCSI support, PCMCIA support, IEE1394, SBP, and like support built in, but everything else -- including graphics card support, networking device support, and so on -- is built as modules that are stored on the root partition (on the external drive), rather than on the floppy. | | | With a simple (one-phase) boot procedure, we should be able to build a kernel with the required support, put it on a floppy drive, install a boot loader on the floppy (I use GRUB, but there are other options, such as LILO), then boot with something similar to this (for GRUB): |
