Did booting from the floppy work without an error? If so, let's install grub in your HDD.
# /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
This will overwrite your MBR of /dev/hda.
When rebooted, the boot screen becomes the same as the one when booted from the floppy disk.
Now, grub in your HDD should be able boot your system.
In the present condition, you have to input a command each time. That is very troublesome, isn't it?
grub can also boot the system from a menu.
To use a menu you need to edit a file at /boot/grub/grub.conf. Mine is put on below as an example.
# timeout (second) timeout 5 # The entry booted as default (numbered from the top as 0, 1, 2, 3 ...) default 0 ## splash image # When using a picture for a background, specify here. splashimage = (hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz ## Starting Momonga # title is shown in the menu title Momonga Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-12m root=/dev/hda1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.19-12m.img ## Starting Windows # We have to spell 'makeactive' and 'chainloader' for this OS. title Windows 98 root (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader+1
The menu screen is shown now when booted. If no keys are pressed in 5 seconds, Linux will be booted.
