-This section complements the [[InstallNotes]] with complete information regarding the GRUB boot loader. The syntax is different from Lilo's and so to scratch my own itch I'm creating this quick reference. The [Grub manual](http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html) is another good reference.

-* update-grub is **Debian specific** and very nice. It will automatically create a /boot/grub/menu.lst file for the kernels in /boot/. It will also append a manually configured set for other partitions like the GNU/Hurd.
-* grub-floppy is a **Debian specific** boot floppy creation script.
-* mkbimage is a **Debian specific** boot disk image creation script.
-* <http://khazad.dyndns.org/packages/grub-disk/> contains a Debian packaged makefile for creating CD &amp; floppy images. Looks like it doesn't work properly. If you fix it, please send patches to the maintainer.

-Another example, just as good, but a lot easier to read. The backslash at the end of each line is to "escape" the enter-key. So make sure there are no spaces following the backslashes!

-Note the differences between GNUmach and OSKit-Mach. The latter **needs** the two dashes after the root specification!
