I installed (Full installation) puppy linux on my ancient VAIO PC. When I try to boot from hard disc it prints “Press A to reboot” which is actually an infinite loop to this message again after rebooting. The only way to boot is to insert the live cd. After that, Everything loads from the hard drive like magic. I have a linux partition (ext3) as well as a linux-swap. I just need puppy to boot alone without the disc.
I am sure it is installed. it even says that the mounted hard drive can’t be umounted because Puppy is USING it.
Try reinstalling it. When you put in the disc you are not booting from the hard drive like magic. You are actually booting from the disc itself.
I use it.

you can try reinstalling like is suggested.
Also, boot from the live cd. mount the target installed to hard drive
become root (sudo -i)
then install grub with
grub-install –root-directory=/media/where/i/installed /dev/sd[abcdef]
where [abcdef] is the letter of that installed to hard drive (do fdisk -l as root to figure out what it is, or `mount` with no arguments)
I use it.
