But what then causes the grub2 stuff to be loaded from /dev/sdX's MBR and a restart then done using grub2's menu's? The "chainloader + 1" I have previously tried and wasn't able to make it work, with or without spaces surrounding the '+'. Probably a typu on my part, but the docs, what there is, are exceedingly sparse on the rules and syntax to make grub actually do its dance. > JB Thanks, JB. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
