Actually, I suppose this is only relevant if your /boot is on a separate partition. However, it should still only reflect the logical path to the file given (hdx,x) as the path set as root in grub. Seems to work this way for me anyway. I haven't messed with an initrd since back in the Red Hat days ;) Joe _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
