	Are you sure?  This is very funny.  Because under linux I have
mounted /dev/hda12 as /gnu and as far as grub is concerned there is no
/gnu.  In other words, there is no gnu directory under /dev/hda12.
There is only a gnu directory on /dev/hda1 and I have mounted
/dev/hda12 onto this directory.

So from linux where /dev/hda12 is mounted as /gnu I get

$ ls /gnu/boot/
gnumach.gz*  serverboot.gz*  servers.boot  servers.boot.dpkg-new
$ 

	There is only a partition at (hd0,11) so if I said
/gnu/boot/gnumach.gz grub will not find it at all.  Right?
