Re: trouble installing grub on -current amd64

["Michael Litchard" <michael%schmong.org@localhost>]

Hmm, okay I think I've left some information out, not wanting
to duplicate info from other threads.
I have the shared libraries installed.
grub installs on AMD64, just doesn't see the kernel
as an executable. This is what prompted me to read the
howto more closely, and I noticed it advises using -current.
I don't think /usr/pkg gets touched during the -current
upgrade, therefore I don't think /usr/pkg/emul was affected.

This being the case, is there any way to find out why I get
this error:
ktrace -f grub.out grub-install /dev/rwd0d
  /usr/pkg/sbin/grub-install: Cannot execute ELF binary /usr/pkg/sbin/grub
  sed: /grub/device.map: No such file or directory
  grep: /grub/device.map: No such file or directory
  /dev/rwd0d does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

As far as the bios goes, I never had this error in 4.0
If it's real, phoenix bios wants you to talk to your OEM
to get an update. In my case it would be
Compaq (presario r3000). They don't have anything for me,
afaik.

So what can I do about this device.map problem?

We (Liz mostly) have set up an amd64 box with current and xen3, and grub
works after installing a binary package built on i386, and the
netbsd/i386 shared libraries that it needs.  The problem seems to be
that grub builds i386 code for boot time, but doesn't use cross tools to
do so.  I suspect that the grub setup part could be amd64 native.
