Decided to press on; OK, into the live boot, and chroot...
I bravely try; grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda and I get the message..."unrecognized option `--boot-directory=/mnt/boot' " A look at grub-install options says " --root-directory=DIR", so I subsitute "root" for "boot" in the above command and get; "mkdir: cannot create directory '/mnt/boot/boot': no such file or directory" Hi Terry I think you are almost there. If you have mounted /boot on /mnt then specify root-directory=/mnt No need to put boot.
This saga must make exciting reading :-)
Might not be exciting but's it's fascinating, I'm enjoying watching from the sidelines, learning much as it unfolds. -- Regards, Colin.
