GRUB has no influence over what the BIOS does.

As I said, GRUB is not incorrect about anything. It is either you or the BIOS which is incorrect. :) If GRUB/the BIOS does not does work like you would expect because you are used to how things are numbered, it does not mean GRUB is broken. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
