I am trying to install F8 onto my old system and having
trouble getting grub to find the drive. Here is the story.

I have removed all drives except the one drive I am attempting
to install F8 on.

I was able to get the F8-Live to work but apparently I must
be doing something wrong when it comes to custom
partitioning screen.

I defined my partitions as:

/dev/sda1	/boot	75MB
/dev/sda2	/	13GB
/dev/sda3	swap	1GB

Since you will not give us what I asked for, here is what you should have. Your grub.conf is in partition /dev/sda1. Your system is in partition /dev/sda2.

   In your grub.conf you must have:

root (hd0)

         vmlinux root=/dev/sda2

and in /etc/fstab you must have a line like this: (from memory)

/dev/sda1         /boot         ext3       defaults    1  2

   If your stuff looks like this and still does not work, write us again.

I committed the partitions, but when it comes to the grub
configuration screen, it shows:

[o]	The GRUB boot loader will be installed on /dev/sda

Default     Label      Device
x             fedora     /dev/sda2

Taking the defaults w/o any changes, I proceed and completed
the installation.

On reboot,  GRUB fails to find the drive.

Am I doing something wrong?
