he software is to be booted. While of course it may be different for Mac, Commodore, Sparc, Amiga, Atari, and other non-PC architectures.

I hope that it is now a bit more clear as to what is going on between bios, grub, kernel and the disk, during the boot process. ;-)

Hi Marko, your English is perfect. I just did something that was interesting but I do not understand why. Using Grub I put it in the MBR of the Slave hard drive (hd1) and removed the Master hard drive (hd0) and rebooted. The system booted with just one hard drive but it wrote this on the screen:

Booting F7

Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS

Press any key

I have no idea why this was printed but it does indicate some maximum has been exceeded in BIOS.

I should get a bare bones new computer this week from TigerTronics which will have I hope a much newer BIOS that knows about 1 terribyte hard drives :-)

   This might fix Grub.
