Curiously enough, with the proper invocation to "install", GRUB will use /boot/grub/menu.1st. I should know ... $ ls /boot/grub device.map e2fs_stage1_5 fat_stage1_5 ffs_stage1_5 jfs_stage1_5 menu.1st minix_stage1_5 reiserfs_stage1_5 stage1 stage2 vstafs_stage1_5 xfs_stage1_5 No wonder "setup" never worked <*g*>. It's a bad choice of name, as l I and 1 are easy to misread (and most other files seem to have a 1 in the name...). Wonder why they didn't just use "menu"? -- Eric G.
