access block outside partition error

[dave]

hy,

I have installed today grub for first time :)

I have read a lot of documentation but i can not argue

if this is a bug or misconfiguration.

------------------------

/dev/hda1 = /boot

/dev/hda2 = /root

# grub --version

grub (GNU GRUB 0.97)

# cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

title skp

root (hd0,0)

kernel /my-2.6.10c root=/dev/hda2

# grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda

The file /boot/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.

Or even by the shell:

grub> root (hd0,0)

Filesystem type is jfs, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd0)

Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no

Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no

Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partition

The same with:

grub> root (hd0,1)

grub> install /grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/menu.lst

Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partition

-----------

can you help me?

tnx.
