--- Comment #8 from Ken Schneider 2007-10-10 17:26:17 MST ---
Having used linux for many years (over 10) I seem to recall that there used to
be a "boot" command also that would point to c0d0p1 as that is my "boot"
partition. My "root" partition is c0d0p3 with c0d0p2 being used as swap.
Here is where I start to get a little fuzzy. In the devices.map file I specify
a /dev device for hd1 but as you say grub knows nothing about /dev until the
kernel boots.
I have modified /boot/grub/devices.map as follows:
(hd0) /dev/mapper/lsi_jhicccaiaa
(hd1) /dev/cciss/c0d0
(fd0) /dev/fd0
and I have the following in /boot/grub/menu.lst:

gfxmenu (hd1,0)/message

I invoked YaST-->System-->boot loader to install the new settings (is this
necessary?) rebooted and still have the same problem, the /boot/message cannot
be found.
