]]> It is possible to use the grub command to install the boot loader, but not the Grub files in /boot/grub. This can be useful to repair a Grub installation if the boot loader was overwritten or damaged.

  1. Do grub.
  2. Optionally, do find /boot/grub/stage1 to find which partitions have the required Grub files in /boot/grub. If you have a separate partition for /boot, do find /grub/stage1 instead.
  3. Do root [partition using Grub convention] to indicate the partition which has the Grub files in /boot/grub and the /boot/grub/grub.conf configuration file.
  4. Install the boot loader using setup [location of boot loader using Grub convention].
  5. Do quit to leave the Grub program.
