        Hello, saw this thread and need the same assistance. I have the
following partitions:

        hda1 = swap
        hda2 = /        (GNU/Linux)     (primary partition)
        hda3 = /usr     (GNU/Linux)     (primary partition)
 
        hda4 = (extended partition)
 
        hda5 = /gnu (GNU/Hurd)  (logical partition)
        hda6 = free space
 
 
So, I've made a GRUB boot disk, and when I try to boot off it it brings me to
the GRUB prompt, im not sure what I need to put (not used to the drive
reference scheme).
 
in sequence should I put something like this?:
 
           root=hd0s5 
	 kernel=/boot/gnumach.gz
 
should i even use the install command? would it be -anything- like below?
 
        install=(hd0,5)/share/grub/i386-unknown/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+20 0x2000 \
                 p (hd0,5)/share/grub/i386-unknown/stage2
 
let meknow if you have any suggestions?
