https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331662#c8 --- Comment #8 from Ken Schneider <suse-list3@bout-tyme.net> 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: # Modified by YaST2.
