Describe the GRUB root partition, and explain how it is located by GRUB.

What will be an ideal response?


GRUB calls the partition that contains Stage2 of the GRUB boot loader the GRUB root partition. Normally, the GRUB root partition is the filesystem that contains the /boot directory and should not be confused with the Linux root filesystem. If your system has a separate partition mounted to /boot, GRUB refers to the file /boot/grub/grub.conf as /grub/grub.conf. If your system does not have a separate filesystem for the /boot directory, this file is simply referred to as /boot/grub/grub.conf in GRUB.
