    grub-install and "does not have any corresponding BIOS drive"

    After installing other system on other partition i must re-install grub.

    # grub-install hd0
    /dev/mapper/pdc_bbcaggibjp2 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

    ????

    Fedora is on /dev/hda2
    /dev/hda1 1 124 995998+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
    /dev/hda2 * 125 912 6329610 83 Linux
    /dev/hda3 913 2148 9928170 a9 NetBSD
    /dev/hda4 2149 9729 60894382+ 5 Extended
    /dev/hda5 2149 4017 15012709+ 83 Linux
    /dev/hda6 4018 9729 45881605 83 Linux

    grub.conf:
    default=0
    timeout=5
    nodmraid
    splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
    hiddenmenu
    title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2122_FC5)
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 ro nodmraid root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
    initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.img

    So i don't understand why "grub-install" procedure doesn't work. Before (FC1,2,3,4) i don't have this problems

    diagnose this problem is very hard for me, cause googling give me many results on many different problems name as "does not have any corresponding BIOS drive"

    What bootloader did you use for the solaris/netbsd and other linux on there before fc5?

    on /dev/hda2 is FC5 and on /dev/hda3 is NetBSD 3.0.

    I install NetBSD so he install bsd loader, after this, i need reinstall grub.

    Don't use GRUB numbers - You'll want:
    Code:
    grub-install /dev/hda

    Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 15 sectors are embedded.

    Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+15 p (hd0,1)/boot/grub/stage2
