I tried adding title chain14 rootnoverify (hd1,8) makeactive chainloader +1 to grub.conf . When I tried to use it, I got Error 18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS. Could the problem with using my boot partition with my F14 be that my F14 knows something else is /boot ? Could I fix that by editing my F14's /etc/mtab ? -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Optimist: The glass is half full.
