Choose where to put a new section

We make a new section bootable ( Bootable ) for demonstrating hda1 .

write changes

confirm changes ( yes )

we leave

4. Formatting
Format the new section ( for ext3 demonstration )
mkfs.ext3 / dev / hda1
5. Copy the Tiny Core system files
we mount a new section
mount / mnt / hda1
create directories for Tiny Core and GRUB files:
mkdir -p / mnt / hda1 / boot / grub
mount the original bootable media. To demonstrate, Tiny Core was downloaded from IDE CD-ROM :
mount / mnt / hdc
we copy files
cp -p / mnt / hdc / boot / * / mnt / hda1 / boot /
6. Installing GRUB
copy GRUB files
cp -p / usr / lib / grub / i386-pc / * / mnt / hda1 / boot / grub /
Create menu.lst: (note that "LST" contains the letters 'L')
VI / mnt / hda1 / boot / grub / menu.lst
press i (input mode) and enter the following
default 0
timeout 10
title tinycore
kernel / boot / bzImage quiet
initrd /boot/tinycore.gz
You can add other options if you wish.
press (esc) when done and (x) (save and exit)
Running GRUB:
Note that GRUB uses HD numbers in the form (hdM, n) and (hdM), instead of hdXy and hdX.
M corresponds to a number from '0', which represents 'a' for X.
For each letter after, add one.
'B' is '1', 'C' is '2', 'd' is '3', etc.
n corresponds to a number from '0', which represents '1' for y.
Subtract 1 from y to get n.
'1' becomes' 0 ',' 2 'becomes' 1', '3' becomes'2 ', etc.
For the demonstration, hda1 is used for hdXy, which means that (hdM, n) is (hd0, 0)
and that using hda on the hdX (hdM) principle is (hd0)
In the grub line
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

7. Testing
Tiny Core and GRUB are already installed.
unmount the original bootable media
umount / mnt / hdc
eject / dev / hdc
To verify operation, reboot the system.
reboot
