RE: CentOS 5 Beta Dual Boot Problem

["Styma, Robert E (Robert)" <stymar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The guys on the Fedora list had good suggestions.
One  pointed me to the correct documentation:


http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
section 14.3 for the error message

For the record, the solution I
got to work was to boot the system and at the grub stage2
countdown to boot press enter.   I pressed 'c' to get
the grub prompt.  Then I entered the commands
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0,0)

This installed the boot loader in the /dev/hda1 partition.
Note that the partition numbers in grub are zero based while
in /dev they are 1 based.

I can now boot both systems.  I have them sharing the same
/home and swap directories.
