Thread: Install Grub2 to Ubuntu root partition

hi. have grub2 in mbr, installed mac os x , decided want use chameleon instead (i know grub can boot os x, chameleon more, , besides that, grub booted os x 1 time, next time restarted said didn't find module or something.)

chameleon doesn't recognize ubuntu, because doesn't have bootloader installed. so, have install grub ubuntu root's partition.

identified partition mounted "/" "df" command. /dev/sda5.

so, typed:

code:

sudo grub-install /dev/sda5

it returned:

code:

  trying install grub partition instead of mbr. bad idea.    /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: can't embed. grub can installed in configuration using block lists. however, block lists unreliable , use discouraged.    /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: if want block lists, use --force.

so got bit scared, , don't know do. decided ask help...

can give me advice, please?

thanks,
