I added the following to my menu.lst: title Install SUSE 10.1 Alpha 1 root (hd3,2) kernel /opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/linux initrd /opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/initrd What I want to know what program I must use to know what the correct root is. With me linux (for 10.1A1) is : /media/data/opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/linux Also: /dev/hdf3 is /media/data Because hdf is the third HD, it is 3 and because hdf3 is the second partition, that is 2, so it makes hd3,2. What command must I use to know this? If that can be done by a simpel command, deciding what to put in your grub is a lot easier for http://www.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD It works great when you know what to add in grub, but I understand that people might be baffled with what to put where and that not all IDE things count. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
