==================
GRUB Boot
==================

This is useful for, eg, installing debian over the network with no cd drive or 
usb stick.

Download the appropriate initrd.gz and linux kernels from whatever netboot
intallation location (two seperate files), and put them somewhere like 
``/boot/install/``. Then edit ``/boot/grub/menu.lst`` and add an entry like::

    title   new install
    root    (hd0,0)
    kernel  /boot/install/linux ramdisk_size=128000 root=/dev/rd/0 rw
    initrd  /boot/install/initrd.gz

Edit the ramdisk size, ramdisk device path, etc as needed.
