I read and re-read the info grub and then came up in the F7 Rescue CD-Rom and did a bunch of changes to my grub setup and then tested to see if the change took :-)
I am happy to report that there is nothing wrong with grub. It has all been operator error and grub does what it is told to. If you tell it the wrong thing it WILL do it or at least try :-D
So my advice to myself is to read info grub before you try to use grub. It is not a simple software. It is VERY easy to get the address for root or setup wrong.
So have fun and enjoy grub.

Thanks, Karl. I've been using a hacked bit of LILO code, one of my mom's wooden cooking spoons, 3 rubber bands, a portrait of my one of our cats done by my granddaughter in green crayon, 14 feet of fishing line, a bit of chewing gum and the stub of an old HB pencil to get my machine booted up till now. But those days are over, thank God, now that you've release Grub to us.

Andy, can I have the fishing line if you are finished - I want to use it to replace a stream of consciousness thread.
Thanks

Can I have the rubber bands? I need a new motor for my balsa wood airplane!
