I agree completely and my scripts have been doing it that way since forever. I really never bother to look at the book for this part of the build as my scripts have everything in it I need. In fact I create a README file, just to have info handy: cat > /boot/grub/README << "EOF" Edit the menu.lst file to set up the various boots you may have on the machine. Then run the "grub" program. At the grub prompt, use the following commands: root (hd0,3) # This tells grub where to find the staging files setup (hd0) # This is where grub will write the MBR Grub's nomenclature is different than Linux or Lilo. Grub starts numbering the hard drives at 0 and partitions at 0. Grub also skips cdroms and only lables hard disks. So, if Hard Disk A was the first device on IDE1 and a cdrom was the second device on IDE1, the first hard disk at IDE2 would be hd1.
