I found that somewhere and just copied that to mine. It may be the long way but it does work. I may edit it and try it your way but since mine works and I don't move things to much, not sure it really matters. I sometimes like to get things from a working system, such as what you posted that you use, because sometimes what is in a guide somewhere may not apply to what I am using or even my OS. May be some subtle difference that causes me grief. Since you use Gentoo, yours is a good example to go by. Should have had that a few months ago when I was changing mine over. ;-) It would have saved me some typing as you pointed out. lol Wouldn't happen to have LABELS in your grub.conf file would you? Dale :-) :-)
