Re: GRUB not working with BIOS serial redirection

[Thomas Frayne]

Grub now works fine for me, also.  It is conceivable that serial 
redirection was involved in my problem, but the problem was cured  by using 
the setup command instead of the install command (which I never did 
understand), and I don't know what serial redirection is, so I can't 
duplicate your experience.
