[gentoo-dev] listing 40

["T.J.R. Woudenberg" <tristan@woudenberg.org>]

Hi there,

I have a comment about listing 40 in your Gentoo Linux 1.2 Installation
Instructions for the x86; in listing 40 you provide a sample grub.lst, I
think you made an error there (read: the grub.lst won't work on my computer)
because you refer to (hd0,0)/boot/ 2 times in that grub.lst. In my boot
partition there's no boot dir, there's only a mount point in my /etc/fstab
called boot but grub isn't supposed to know that. Is it my mistake, do you
have to make a boot dir in your boot partition and mount the disk later on
in your / dir, or is there a typo in listing 40? Anyway I changed the 2
lines with the reference to the boot dir:

splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz  -->
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

kernel /boot/bzImage  -->  kernel /bzImage

Kind regards and keep up the good work on a great Linux distro,
