I have Grub2.02~beta2-9 installed in its own dedicated partition to be OS independent.
In Grub Customizer, I pull down the "File" menu and select "Change environment...". It shows all info as if I were using Grub2 in my OS's partition (/dev/sda4). When I Click on the "Partition" dropdown and select the partition where my Grub2 files are located (/dev/sda2), I immediately get an error window stating: "This seems not to be a root file system (no fstab found)". And of course, that is exactly correct, but it will not let me point it to where my grub files are located. By the way, my Grub 2 functions perfectly in this dedicated partition. I was hoping Grub Customizer would make it easier for me to edit my grub.cfg file in this special partition, but so far, it appears not. Additional info: I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS twice on the same drive, in two different partitions on /dev/sda and installed Grub2 files into their own dedicated partition on this same drive, and this all works perfectly. Then, I decided to go get Grub Cusromizer to make it a lot easier to edit my menu appearance, but alas encountered this issue. Is there something that I am missing, or is there a work-around? Would symlinks help this situation? I've never set up any, but I pretty much know what they are. If so, where and how would they be needed? In my active OS, I have a mount point for the Grub2 partition. I'm wondering about setting up symlinks in whatever are the proper places in the directory tree of my active OS, and having them point through my mount point to the "true" grub files and directories. Unfortunately, however, I am not knowledgeable enough on Grub to know exactly where they would need to be placed. Kind regards, Stan
