grub installation

[briapro]

I just installed Red Hat Linux 7.2 but unfortunately did not choose grub for my boot loader (I am dual booting w/ Win 98). Now I can only boot linux with a floppy. I tried to install grub by upgrading with the installation disk but it would not do it. Can anyone tell me how to install grub without going through the whole install process all over again?

I didn't do it.

Here is my conf file
place this in /boot/grub/grub.conf

note this is specific for my configuration as the partition order may be different

# Configuration file created by me. I dont know if it is OK

default 0
timeout 10
fallback 1
color white/black blue/green

#Booting

title Linux
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/"Your KERNEL filename here do not leave this" root=/dev/hda2
title Windows
root (hd0,3)
makeactive
chainloader +
####################


after that type
#grub-install /dev/hda

perhaps you have only one drive
describe your partitions in more details if something goes wrong.
you may use fdisk

you may also try lilo


AS FOR ME
soneone who knows how to enable the splash screen at grub bootup in RH7.2 pls tell me

Don't forget to install the grub rpm if it isn't there yet. The "grub-install" command can get it installed to your hardrive. Full details can be had with "info grub", and "info grub-install"

 

[growchie]

the line that reads chainloader +
should be chainloader +1
a copy error

 

[poorboy]

The line for splash file is something like:

splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

Thanks everyone for your responses, since it was a new install I just re-installed adding the grub boot loader. Everything works great.

I didn't do it.
