+ | ===== In a nutshell: ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **stage1:** The core GRUB functionality stored in the MBR. (512 bytes) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **stage1.5: | ||
+ | as extended device drivers for things like LVM and, I would assume, software RAID as well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **stage2:** This is the full GRUB functionality. This is the portion that actually lives on your boot partition and needs to have the original file around. (You can, if you choose, delete the files stage1, and stage1.5 from disk after installing GRUB, but stage 2 must stay there.) This is the portion that does most of the heavy lifting, loads the | ||
+ | menu.lst, etc. | ||
