Because GRUB 2 was formerly developed under the project PUPA, there |
|
|
remain still many places where PUPA is used instead of GRUB 2. So |
|
|
suppose that PUPA is a synonym of GRUB 2 for now. |

For now, there is not much documentation yet. Please look at the GRUB |

|
Wiki <http://www.autistici.org/grub/> for testing procedures. |
|
Because GRUB 2 is still in developmental stage, GRUB 2 is not for general |
|
|
use (yet). For now, you can install GRUB 2 into a floppy by these |
|
|
instructions: |
|
|
|
|
|
$ configure && make |
|
|
$ ./grub-mkimage -v -d . -o core.img _chain ext2 |
|
|
$ dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 |
|
|
$ dd if=core.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1 |

It would be easier to use Bochs <http://bochs.sf.net/> than a real |
|
|
machine. |
