Hi, I installed grub by connecting the hdd to my workstation. This did not change anything. Also I changed /etc/fstab . Now I have 0 0 for every partition. The pc boots fine now. I can use it but ... There is no /dev/hd* . Running mount /boot I get the answer /dev/hda1 does not exist. Also there is no /dev/sd* Any ideas? Regards kh
