I am able to calculate it myself. I just want the computer to do it for me. A command that has /dev/hdf3 as input and hd3,2 as output (or whatever is correct)
I have a bit more information. Say I have the Alpha 1 all in /media/data/opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1 That means that linux and initard are: /media/data/opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/linux /media/data/opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/initrd Now /media/data is /dev/hdf3, so I must enter the following in grub: title DVD_10.1_A1 root # Later kernel /opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/linux initrd /opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/initrd Now I still need to know what root is. I can do this by counting. I can also do this by lauching `grub` as root and enter: grub> find /opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/linux This gives me : (hd3,2) Any way I could do this without entering grub? 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
