Sure, but that's not what you wrote. "boot=/dev/sd" isn't in yours or mine anywhere, and I still don't know what your original question meant to ask. title openSUSE 10.3 root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL=103root showopts noresume splash=0 vga=0x305 initrd /boot/initrd
Whooops !!! My bad ! Don'tknow why I wrote "boot" instead of "root". Senility I guess. The intent of that question is, is this where Grub gets it's, or puts, info for some stage of the boot loader?
Maybe it would help if you understood that menu.lst corresponds to a shell script. Nothing in menu.lst is indispensable to Grub's function as a bootloader. IOW, menu.lst is little more than a (major) user convenience. Anything and everything regarding starting an OS can be done by you typing something at a Grub command prompt, and as long as you type there appropriately, Linux and/or windoz or any other OS Grub knows about will start. The content of menu.lst is after the fact, totally unrelated to getting Grub properly installed. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/ HTH -- "Love is not easily angered.
