boot question

2011-05-14 Thread Robert Simmons
Perhaps my earlier question was too complex and specific. I will rephrase it a bit: How do I boot from a kernel that is in a non-standard location on a disk that is partitioned with the GPT scheme? How do I tell that kernel the location of /etc/fstab?
