I managed to create a grub.conf that works [a minor miracle].
However I am interested in this.
I don't see the "map" option in man grub?
Info grub is hard to deal with, copied it to info.txt which
produces 73 pages in an openoffice document using a font large
enough that I can see ...
How do I use the "map" option?

Bob:
Pretty much all about Grub:
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html
A minor point: Fedora's configuration file for grub is grub.conf rather
that menu.lst, menu.lst is a link to grub.conf.
Also, this document does *not* apply to Grub2, but since Fedora uses the
old Grub 0.97 so you're good to go. For a while.
