Thread: install Grub using Live-CD


hi

howto install grub ubuntu partition using ubuntu live-cd 10.04?
i've tried following, doesn't work:
code:
$ sudo passwd root  enter new unix password:   retype new unix password:   passwd: password updated  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ su  password:   root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# grub-install /dev/sda2  /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find device /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).  no path or device specified.  try `/usr/sbin/grub-probe --help' more information.  auto-detection of filesystem module failed.  please specify module option `--modules' explicitly.
howto specify module option `--modules'?

i've tried following:
code:
# sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda2 /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: attempting install grub partition instead of mbr.  bad idea.. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: embedding not possible.  grub can installed in setup using blocklists.  however, blocklists unreliable , use discouraged.. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: if want blocklists, use --force.  # sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda2 --force /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: attempting install grub partition instead of mbr.  bad idea.. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: embedding not possible.  grub can installed in setup using blocklists.  however, blocklists unreliable , use discouraged.. installation finished. no error reported.
