This morning when I started up the grub boot disk I got the message:
Stage 2Geom Error
so I never even got to a prompt.
I redid the boot diskette and now I do get the prompt. I executed the root (hd0,7) command repeatedly until it worked. But then the kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 command failed consistently with Error 18 (the BIOS limitation error). Paul
