GRUB problem
i have installed Solaris Express, Community Release (dvd).
My computer loaded windows. After reaboot this message came to the screen:
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
Computer doesn't boot xp cd and solaris cd. Only grub working.
Bios boot scren:
1-) cd-rom
2-) hda
how do i open windows or solaris?

Hello.
Obviously the boot menu is missing.
You can boot manually using the command shell in grub:
1) Ensure that the "normal" text mode is active
terminal graphics
terminal console
2a) Select Solaris as active OS:
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
2b) or select another OS as active OS
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
(hd0,0), (hd0,1), (hd0,2) and (hd0,3) are the up to four bootable partitions on your hard disk.
3) Boot the OS selected
boot
In Solaris look at /boot/grub/menu.lst to find out if there are entries in the boot menu.
