Helpful information. Thanks. hda is a CDROM hde is the SATA drive Does grub's numbering include the CD, so the SATA drive would be (hd1)? Or is it still (hd0)? I'm remote from the machine right now so I cannot try this until later today.) I couldn't get it to boot last night after I finished the stage 3 install due to this problem. It kept saying 'file not found' and it was late so I figured I'd read more about grub today. It can find bzImage files using some of those commands that show up when I do a tabbed completion, correct? Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
