        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
