You referred to grub.cfg and stage2*. AFAIK those are GRUB Legacy and not GRUB 2. There does indeed seem to be a problem with the GRUB 2 documentation. Most of the files in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/ are of type .mod and .img. I think the file you want is cdboot.img, but I'm not sure how to use it. >> Try http://grub.enbug.org/Manual > > Never heard of this site.. That's the GRUB Wiki. -- Bruce
