Error 22: No such partition |

(i) [Problem]
After fixing the bug in grub-install mentioned in the
previous letter, I tried
grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda
but this fails with "Error 22: No such partition".
Now /boot is in fact on hdb, and the description
of this error message suggests that perhaps the
GRUB bootstrap must be on the same disk as the GRUB files,
but also
grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hdb
fails with the same error message.
(ii) [Flaw]
It looks like the commands are preceded by 74 spaces:
grub>
root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub>
setup --stage2=/boot/boot/grub/stage2 --prefix=/boot/grub (hd1)
This gives some strange, funny effect, with precisely 1 symbol
at the end of a line before it is wrapped.
(iii) [Flaw]
There is no good man page.
(If you object that there is an info file - no, that doesnt count.
Far too low information density. Moreover, it fails to give the
needed information.)
(iv) [Flaw]
The part of the info file that talks about CHS is very dated.
Maybe that text was reasonable in 1996, but it is not today.
