It seems like the kernel "find the root partition" code is pretty separate from everything else. The GRUB init stuff probably needs to specify /dev/hdaX, even if your system doesn't otherwise have such a file. (And if you think about it, before there's a root filesystem, how can the kernel read your /dev, anyways?) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
