I would like either the old IDE drives to come first, since I rarely

grub.conf that uses the labels but i have not rebooted yet. According
to what I have read it will work. The only concern is that if grub
doesn't like labels and I add another drive, then I got to edit the
grub boot line to boot and it took me a couple tries to get this
right. It seeing what used to be the last drive first sort of took me
by surprise. I don't like surprises to much.
Press c to get the GRUB command line and then use find to identify your
root partition - find /etc/fstab will work unless you have two root
partitions. There's no need for suck-it-and-see editing of config
files,
you only have to change menu.lst after you have found and tested the
correct boot options.
I know I switched to grub from lilo because it was user friendly but I
haven't used this feature. So instead of hitting "e", I hit "c" and it
gives me something similar to what I get when I type grub into a console
when booted? I did a man grub here and I don't see that documented. Is
this documented somewhere?
Yes. When you press ESC in Grub to go to text mode, it says right
there that you can press "c" to enter edit mode :)
I was hoping for something like a man page or something tho. I would
like to read up on this a little before jumping in head first. Does it
have a little info on screen on what does what at least? I think the
edit screen does but not sure about this part.
Thanks.
