That's something I changed legacy grub for. There is no way to substitute root (hd0,0) for example, with a label/UUID. I changed that so that you can say: find/wd80_0jd-60.05 rootFILE=/wd80_0jd-60.05 So now you are totally label oriented: grub uses as root the partition where file wd80_0jd-60.05 is located. The down side is you can only boot when the labels + label files are in place. E.g. doing mondo restores. Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
