[Wylug-help] grub loader

[Don Magee]

Any grub experts out there?

I have a machine with the /boot partition on /dev/hdd1 and boot it by
selecting the secondary slave as the boot device from the bios.

The entry in grub.conf that boots linux from  hdd4 looks like:

root (hd0,0)               #  even though the partition is on hdd (hd3)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1    ro root=/dev/hdd4
initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.img

I want to boot windows from the primary master. But no combination of
root and map commands seems to work in grub.conf.

rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

just crashes the machine. So does hd1, hd2 and hd3.

If the boot partition is on the first drive then booting from other
partitions is fairly straight forward. But the bios seems to have
already remapped the drives.

Anyone know how to do it?
