I successfully created a bootable cdrom, it boots and it install itself nicely on the hd ... apparently it does not break the installed base, but it behaves a little bit strange when booted from cdrom and I access filesystems on other devices and I try to get back to the cdrom. If booted from cdrom, I can do a configfile (hd0,8)/boot/grub/menu.lst to read my standard config file from my boot partition (a 100MB VFAT32 partition), I also can use it and boot with it. But any attempt to get back to the filesystem on the cdrom fails. root (<TAB> lists (fd0) (fd1) (hd0) (hd1) (cd) root (c<TAB> gets correctly (?) substitutet by root (cd) now appending a / root (cd)/<TAB> gives an Error 23: error parsing number if I try to substitute a 0 as in root (cd0)/<TAB> gives an Error 25: disk read error the same happens for anything else like reboot chainloader (fd0)+1 chainloader (hd0)+1 regards -- Bernhard Treutwein BdT(at)wildwein de (home) Bernhard Treutwein(at)verwaltung uni-muenchen de (work) _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
