Well usually it should, but not always. Here is the partition table: Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80032038912 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9730 cylinders, total 156312576 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0004a073 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 152350719 76174336 83 Linux /dev/sda2 152352766 156311551 1979393 5 Extended /dev/sda5 152352768 156311551 1979392 82 Linux swap / Solaris -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
