Not necessarily. It could be /dev/sda. There should be a devices.map file where your menu.st file is. That will tell you which device is (hd0). Beverly

Hello! Ideally we'd need to know which distribution you chose for your work. But baring those details I can tell you that the root volume that this started from is indeed /dev/ha with the appropriate partitions starting at /dev/hda1 all the way to /dev/hda4. And typically the boot process starts from /dev/hda1, unless you're using a Red Hat based one, in which case all bets are off. Also check to see if there are given details regarding how GRUB was installed, that may give you more clues. Seriously though the fact that we see your menu.lst file without a splash image entry does suggest that you might have set this up yourself, or used one that does not use them. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Force will be with you.
