I know the bootloader question has been beat to death and I have looked every where that I know of to find an answer, but no dice...yet. Anyway, I'm stuck using a boot disk to load gentoo. First off gentoo is installed on hdb with hdb1 being /boot, hdb5 / , hdb6 /swap, & hdb7 /home. Here is my grub.conf file:
default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd1,0) /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo root (hd1,0) kernel (hd1,0) /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb5
and when I ran "grub" I typed
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1,0)
I thought this was right....? no. I don't get a cool splash screen only a plain grub boot screen that gives an error when trying to boot, so I revert to using my trusty boot disk :) Does anyone have a suggestion for my delimma? Also, one extra note, when I get to the grub boot scren (the one that gives errors) it says it's booting from a FAT formatted drive?...huh, wha...I know I formated /boot with ext2. I'm just baffeled. Thanks
