To answer my own questions... Grub2 seems to store it's configurations in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
But this file is not meant to be manually configured, it can be, but is discouraged and is read-only by default. Standard manual menu edits should be done in /etc/grub.d/40_custom This is a module system and you must run # update-grub to load the updated module. If you wanna see the auto probe results that should be in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober If your system isn't auto-detecting you windows system check to see that os-prober is installed. If not, apt-get and run update-grub. Useful information here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 Apparently you can get hard disk and uuid infomation at the command line by running # blkid I haven't tested this yet but should be interesting...

Hmmm, I coulda swore my testing/squeeze install had one. That's the thing I hate, everything always moving around. Grub2 has to have a config file somewhere that's comparable to menu.list to fetch it from, what is the new config file and where is it? Second, I haven't been a fan of the uuid thing mainly because I dunno how to identify a drives uuid. What is the CLi commands one would use to identify a given drive and it's uuid?

Also, hard drive are called by their UUID now. Thierry
