I don't think you'll need the map (hd0) (hd1) or map (hd1) (hd0) commands. You can change the mappings of the drives in the file /boot/grub/device.map My device.map is as follows: (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb I did have an IDE drive in there a while ago which was (hd1) /dev/hda Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
