Hi, And thanks for the questions and grub commands. The above setting
now boots debian. Grub needed the correct file and it was
/boot/initrd.img-xxx. I don't get a start up log while debian is booting
and I don't understand that. Slackware doesn't seem to have a initrd. I
did a whereis but only got the /usr/man/man4/initrd.4.gz file which I
tried but loading failed with a kernel panic. As for the floppy entry in
grub it was automatically put in by SuSE's installer. The floppy will
boot any of the 3 linuxes from the grub floppy listing, but it does say
something like entire device is fat.I guess I could take out the
chainloader +1 entry? And windows does boot with the entry I posted
previously and haven't changed. BTW /sbin/grub = no such file or
directory. Thanks again. I'll ask the slack board where slack's initrd is.
