I think, you have installed grub into your mbr

Yes, I have. But not during CRUX install. Much more earlier, when I had installed another linux distro on the box.

Then you should edit the original grub configuration file. Afaik grub will always use the configuration file you used while installing it into the mbr.

I edited the original grub file while installing crux, but after that I was not able to boot crux for some reason. That's why I'll try some other tricks like chainloading or re-write the mbr.

I checked that grub package is not available from the install iso, because my experience is that the 'core' repo is only available from the iso (neither 'opt' and or 'xorg'). While the 'core' repo only includes lilo.

There are some xorg and opt ports on the iso (firefox and all it's dependencies for sure), but not installed. The packages are there to be used with pkgadd. But i don't know, whether grub is among them.

OK, I'll try pkgadd.

I suppose I should try some chainloading from the existing grub sitting in the mbr toward my CRUX lilo which I should install to the root partition of my CRUX.

Could be a solution, but it shouldn't be more difficult to alter your existing grub configuration to choose the right root and kernel image.

I've already altered grub config (see above). Thanks Balazs
