Rick, I am interested in what others say on this matter, but I _suspect_ that what is happening is that ( no, I'm not sure any more, however ) that GRUB is using track 0 on the first IDE drive to do the actual first stage boot -- however there _is_ that pesky "root" parameter / command in there that seems to imply that /boot is on that drive too, in fact, as /dev/hda1. Hmmmm????? Brian
