[!!] Install the GRUB bootloader on a hard disk

You need to make the newly installed system bootable, by installing the GRUB boot loader on a bootable device. The usual way to do this is to install GRUB to the master boot record of your first hard drive. If you prefer, you can install GRUB elsewhere on the drive, or to another drive, or even to a floppy.

The device can be specified using GRUB's "(hdn,m)" notation, or as a device in /dev. Below are some examples:
- "(hd0)" or "/dev/hda" will install GRUB to the master boot record of your first hard drive (IDE);
- "(hd0,1)" or "/dev/hda2" will use the second partition of your first IDE drive;
-"(hd2,4)" or "/dev/hdc5" will use the first extended partition of your third drive (SCSI here);
-"(fd0)" or "/dev/fd0" will install GRUB to a floppy.
