That is, grub can list the content of the first partition on disk b either with: ls (hd1, msdos1)/ or with: set root=(hd1,msdos1) ls /

"ls (hd0,1)" will give you the filesystem type on the first partition, ans "ls (hd0,1)/ should list the files on that partition. regards Pierre -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
