No problem, I'm glad to have helped...
I never knew that. I always figured grub had it's own code for poking
at the PCI bus that would work independently of the block devices.
Interesting. Score another point for `mount --bind'.
This is why I stuck with Lilo long after LFS had gone down the grub
road. Grub is OS dependent because it is OS aware. Lilo is ignorant of
OS. The additional administrative effort of Lilo always seemed
worthwhile to me. I do grudgingly admit that the convenience of grub's
OS awareness does benefit most of us most of the time. I did start using
Grub when I began using distros again (CentOS, a RH EL/AS/... rebuild)
and didn't see any need to replace Grub with Lilo in and enterprise
system that has all those nice auto-update features.
