If I set my BIOS to boot from the ide disk, where I have installed grub on (hd0), grub boots up fine, but since the hda1 partition is FAT, the neme of grub.conf has been truncated to grub.con, and in order to get the boot menu, I have to manually specify: grub> configfile (hd0,0)/grub/grub.con I presume I am not the only one with this kind of setup, so it would make sense to replace the standard name grub.conf with something like grub.cfg Since grub does not find a grub.conf file, there is no way of unattended rebooting after a power failure -- or is there? Hopefully the problem of booting from a scsi partition which is not the "first disk" will also be addressed in a future release. (Lilo has similar problems in booting W2k when the boot-partition is on a scsi disk), so I am quite happy with grub, except for the mentioned grub.conf problem. Best regards, -- Hardy (Meinhard E.
