4. Type “find /boot/grub/stage1” and press <Enter>. This will return the boot locations of
your grub files. If multiple lines are returned it is a good bet that the first one is your
original boot grub location. It will look something like: (hd0,1), where the “0” is the disk,
and the “1” is the partition.
Note: This “find” command can mislead you on the next step. The partition numbers given
here are relative, where the “root” command wants the absolute partition number. You will
need to subtract 1 from the partition numbers shown on this screen when you enter your disk
and partition information in on the root command.

5. Type “root (hd#,#)” Enter the information that was returned from the find command in the
previous step, remember to subtract 1 from the partition number (second number). For
example if (hd0,1) was the first line returned, then type “root (hd0,0)”.
6. Type “setup (hd#)” and press <Enter>. Replace the “#” with the disk number returned in
step 4.
7. Type “quit” and press <Enter>. This will return you to the “[root@Eagle-Server ~]#”
prompt.

steps 5 and 6 again. Then type “reboot” and Press <Enter>.
Your system should boot normally now. If you don't see the boot menu, read the prompt as it
may be asking you to press “ESC” for the boot menu. If you don't press anything the system
should automatically boot to your original Linux configuration.
