My main goal was to write a procedure to duplicate my working Linux software on a second PC. I already had a tared version of my partition data from the first PC so destroying the partition data was not a problem. I recreated the filesystem with the command "mkfs.ext3 -I 128 /dev/sda2". I then untared my filesystem archive into the partition. The legacy Grub "find" command could then find files in (hd0,1), as expected, and menu.lst in the first partition could boot a Linux kernel in partition two. Again thanks for the help, Jan
