Hi,
root (sd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.15.4 root=/dev/sda1
It is not recognised by host system grub at boot-time. The error is
"Error in parsing number". I also tried to use 'root (hd1,0)' but the
error given was "The given drive does not exist"
AFAIK, GRUB does not recognise USB devices, so the line
root(sd0,0)
is not supported. Only hd and fd are.
What I have done is to use a kernel installed in a hard disk, but with
root=/dev/sd??. GRUB will be able to fetch the kernel from there and, in
turn, the kernel will be able to mount the root partition in the USB device.
Another option would be to configure the BIOS so that it boots directly
from USB, but I do not know how to do it.
Cheers,
Pedro
