Thanks Bruce. It seems the reference to zero was what I was missing too. On Tuesday 06 April 2004 08:11, Bruce Marshall wrote:

I am having some difficulty adding a 2nd Linux (Slackware) to grub in SuSE 9.0 It is on hda4 and using Yast2 should I be able to mount it as / ? but it seems I can't because SuSe is already /. How can I get hda4 (Linux Native) to be mounted and show up at boot.
Thanks
I've never used YAST to work with grub.... The easiest by far method is to just edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst.
- Copy your current boot entry...
- Make the changes needed to that entry (label, root, etc) for the new partition. (be advised that grub works relative to zero... so if your / partition for Slackware is on hda4, you would reference it as hd(0,3) in the menu.lst. That means 'first disk, 3rd partition from zero' = hda4.
I know YAST should be able to do it... but you'd be far better off to learn some grub. Comes in handy when you want to try out new kernels and yet keep your current kernel bootable in case of a farkle.
