Oh, for the love of Woz... that was exactly it. I blame it on the fixed
font that Firefox uses to display the user input text! Also the fact that
the software my company sells uses "application-name.1st" (first) as the
naming convention for readme notes.
And yes, Greg, I figured out my mistake in confusing the grub root vs. the
kernel root right after it started to boot up and announced that it could
not find the kernel at hda0. Oops. The info page didn't make that
clear, but in retrospect common sense should have told me that a line
giving the location of the kernel should provide the kernel's partition.
{shrug} I can see the advantage of being able to rewrite the menu without
having to re-burn the MBR each time as lilo does, but I have used lilo so
long it might take me a while to get used to grub.
For now, I just have to figure out what I did wrong that is preventing the
bootscripts from loading... but at least the kernel loads. Thanks again,
Scott.
