Hi,

I'm using 2.0.5r snap, complete with a new boot loader.  Now I'd like to remove
what is currently the boot drive.  I've copied its contents, but I need to copy
the boot loader from the old boot drive to the new one.  I couldn't find any
documentation on it and I can't take the system down for a long time playing
around with it...

so how do I install the boot loader or where can I find documentation on it?
