As the title states, I successfully booted my shiny new LFS-6.1.1 system with the aid of the grub rescue disk! You should've seen the grin on my face when it happened... priceless. It's a "by the book" system with almost no variations except for booting. /boot is hdb1, swap is hdb2, and / is hdb3. There were no kernel panics or any other noticeable errors for the debut.
hda is my Windows XP, without which, i couldn't have joined this mailing list or search for information online. I chose to completely preserve the MBR (and all of my first hard drive) as it is my lifeline if something goes wrong. The next task at hand is to figure out how to tweak the windows boot.ini file to default boot my LFS system. After that I can modify any and all linux configuration files to suit my tastes. Once I've accomplished that, it's on to the BLFS book. :-D *please note -- This email assumes it is OK to post a very happy "success story" instead of a question asking for support. If it is not OK, please disregard this email. I was happy enough that I called my brother, so I thought I would also mail to the support list. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
