Re: [MLUG] Bootloader install help requested

It depends on what partition boot is on.  hd0,0 is first disk (primary 
master), first partition.  hd0,1 would be fist disk, second partition.  
Looks like it is not finding vmlinuz.  I run mandrake and it has a sym 
link from vmlinuz to the kernel.  I guess RH does not d this.  If you 
know the file name of your kernel (and initrd.img for the second 
command) then use that name.  If you do not have them then you can get 
it by booting from a live cd and finding your /boot dir and looking at 
grub.lst. 
BTW the reason the resue mode is not seeing your hd is because it is not 
mounting them.  You can mount them manually but I think you have to do 
it the hard way by entering in all of the fstab settings.

Good luck.
