 |

in the x86 build:
Final steps: configure GRUB
The most critical part of understanding GRUB is getting comfortable with how GRUB refers to hard drives and partitions. Your Linux partition /dev/hda1 is called (hd0,0) under GRUB. Notice the parenthesis around the hd0,0 - they are required. Hard drives count from zero rather than "a", and partitions start at zero rather than one. So, /dev/hdb3 gets translated to (hd1,2), and /dev/hdd7 gets translated to (hd3,6). After you've gotten the feel for that, convert your boot and root partition names to the GRUB format and write them down.
-> where do i write them down change them? which file? |

Write them down on paper and continue with the following steps in the instructions (code listing 41, etc.).

well.. in a way you do, the next couple steps are the config for grub, which will save the file for you, and then the menu.lst file which you'll need to edit.. so you will be writing it down in a conf file.. |
