Turns out using nvalias instead of devalias makes it permanent. So I now boot to grub directly with an nvalias hd /pci.... set and boot-device set to hd (which means boot the PReP boot partition). I now have to set root manually to (md0) and then load /boot/grub/grub.cfg as a configfile. Then I can boot. The fat partition is now needed at all. The grub image has mdraid, raid and ext modules included in it and then dd'd to the PReP partition. So how do I convince grub where to look for the config, or should I create a small config file that sets the root and loads a config file and embed that in the image perhaps? -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
