Hi.
I've tried it, and:
root:/boot/grub# grub-setup -r '(hd0,8)'
No device is specified.
The same. I've also tried several things using slashes and still the same.
Is there really something wrong with using lilo? I mean, how can I be sure
that grub will be able to boot a kernel that lilo can't? I'm more used to
use lilo than grub.
