Hello,
First let me start by saying I am a pretty much new to manual installs of any Linux distribution and probably a light-moderate user who is trying to understand the boot process. I can't seem to get GRUB to recognize any of my partitions.
Arch Current i686 install - non EFI system (Windows 7 already installed)
AT BOOT:
FROM LIVE CD COMMAND LINE
*Note /dev/sdb2 is a Windows 7 partition
*Note /dev/sdb3 is a LUKS partition
I have tried several options to get stage2 working properly:
grub-mkconfig: just gives a sample format but I can't edit the grub.cfg itself and I am unsure what exactly needs to be written in other than the menu entries.
I have read that GRUB2 doesn't use the menu.lst and it is contained in the grub.cfg
I am assuming that I need to just create a menu entry that points to /dev/mapper/root or the UUID to the encrypted volume.
I am not understanding where or what command I need to run to do this. I am either not atking myself the right question to find an appropriate answer or just reading too many answers that are irrelevant to my situation or both.
If anyone could help me understand what I am missing or forgetting and give a good direction to head in.
