If you don't that's probably OK, but if you do then you'll probably need to remove the /boot bit from the paths, ie: kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage
Reason being that with a separate /boot (hd0,0) probably _is_ /boot, not the directory above it. > > I set up grub by running the command root (hd0,0) and setup. > setup what? It requires a parameter telling it where to set itself up. If you want grub as the main/only bootloader you probably want it in the MBR, so you'd use root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) Ewan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
