Then it isn't counting your CD. It will not hurt your gentoo install either and your just trying to write to the mbr.. like I said, I thought I remember it counting cd's, but I could be wrong.. When running the setup, it had to find your /boot drive.. SO you should be ready to go, just make sure your grub.conf is looking for hd0,0. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
