I usually leave out the '-s' from the kernel line and only add it back manually when I need it by editing the menu entry on bootup in grub. > 2) Is the device:hd0s5 correct? in > grub> kernel (hd0,4)/boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s5 -s If GNU/Linux would call it /dev/hda5, it's correct I believe, yes. > 5) Aside from my questions do I have someting fundamentally wrong?
