HD Install :: Help with Frugal Install

Help! I have tried to do a frugal install a few times but it when I boot from the hard drive it just says GRUB Hard Drive Error or something. Can someone plz help?

The partition I am installing to is hdb1.

Update. I just tried to do a normal hd-install and used the Lilo boot loader and it came up with the same error message.

You may want to provide a bit more information, ie- what's installed on hda? Any unusual hardware configurations on the PC?

I have a standard AT motherboard with a K6-2 450Mhz Cpu. 64mb Graphics card and 256 megs of ram. There was nothing on the hard drive when I installed it.

Hope this helps.

spence_justin,

Your PC spec looks same with mine. I'm using Frugal Lilo Install on HDD 1.2GB. It works fine. This is my way:-

hda1 for swap 100MB
hda2 for Frugal 75 MB, Bootable ext2
hda3 for data (the rest of HDD space), /home and /opt, ext2

Note:
- Boot with Option 'Blank' (Enter) first.
- Using command cfdisk for partition making ... reboot ... then, format partition.
- Using command mkswap /dev/hda1
- Using command mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda2
- Using command mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda3
- After formatting, then installation

In installation time, I used option: mydsl=hda3 home=hda3 opt=hda3
Partition for Backup/Restore: hda3
