I have been setting up a multiboot hard disk which has numerous boot options which were launched from a Grub menu.
After creating a linux-data partition and formatting it as ext3, I copied the contents of a Ubuntu ISO file to this partition and added the appropriate Grub Menuentry, and Ubuntu loaded up without any problems. However after rebooting the Grub menu no longer appears, but instead the system up straight to Windows PE!
How do I figure out where the system is booting from?
Here is the disk layout of /dev/da0 :-
My grub.cfg is at /dev/da0p4/boot/grub and remains unchanged.
My system is a Lenovo ThinkPad X220 and I use the ThinkVantage button on startup to select the boot device from the list.
How do I check what I have in my boot sector?
