Bug Description
I followed the following path :-
a. I downloaded a ubuntu 8.10 i386.iso .
b. Then I mounted the .iso through daemon tools.
c. Told it to have 8 GB partition on D:/ drive.
d. It checked for checksums, made an image of 732.8 MB and then installed it.
e. Then it asked to reboot.
f. After reboot it gave a boot message and asked to choose between windows and ubuntu.
g. Checked Ubuntu
h. After that it gave an error
Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist
press any Key to Continue
Clicking on any key gave me grub4dos
Grub4DOS is 0.4.4 - 2008-10-27
Memory 639/1021 M
Code End : 0x42918
Then choose to edit to see what in for booting and found the following :-
find --set-root --ignore floppies
/ubuntu/
kernel Normal Mode
initrd /ubuntu/
initrd.gz
boot
Shouldn't it have been D:/ubuntu/
