Hi,
   I'm doing a new build tonight on an A7N8X type MB. The main SATA hard
drive has been showing up on /dev/hde. I've set up the drive like this:

/dev/hde1 -> /boot
/dev/hde2 -> swap
/dev/hde3 -> /root

When I get to the grub installation portion of the build, would it be
correct to use

grub> root (hd4,0)
grub> setup (hd4)

if I want grub placed in the MBR of the SATA Drive?

No, grub numbers the drives depending on how many there are, not their absolute location.


So if you had a drive on hda, and another on hde, hda would be (hd0) and hde would be (hd1). If you only had the SATA drive, it would be (hd0).

If in doubt use tab completion.
