The next screen after that should have a set of drives to select; this has worked perfectly in my testing. If it doesn't then that's a problem at some other layer ... (You may have to use Tab to get to the OK button before pressing Return, or something.) In any case, this isn't really a GRUB problem, but more a problem with Debian; you should ask about it in some Debian context, perhaps debian-user. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
