I am trying to create a GRUB boot floppy as per "The GRUB manual"
The first line: dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
works and loads on the floppy apparently properly.
The second line: dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
gives the error message: /dev/fd0, Invalid argument.
Can anybody HELP me.?
