Yes, I did the steps they said:
root (hd0,0) <- put the menu in the MBR of the first drive
setup (hd0) <- not sure what this does
I get a grub prompt so something worked, but it seems to not find my
menu.lst file (which is sym linked to my grub.conf file).
In general, I get a little confused about the (hd#,#). I know they are
zero based, so /dev/hdb3 turns into (hd1,2). But to get it to boot (see
commands above), I have to give the command "root (hd1,0)" which isn't
my real root partition. So does root in this context really mean boot
partition?
