What's the syntax to run it on my root partition, which in Linux would be referred to as /dev/hdc1 and elsewhere is referred to as (hd0,0) and elsewhere is referred to as hd2s1?Kent, Buddy are you trying to install on your own or are you reading any type of documentation?

Alot of these questions are covered. (hd0,0) is GRUB device naming. /dev/hdc1 is Linux naming convention and hd2s1 is the Hurd naming conventions. hdx Refers to hard-drive x starting with 0 as the master drive on the primary IDE channel. Partitions sx start with 1 so in your case hd2s1 is the first partition on the first ide drive of the second ide channel.
Yes, that I understand.
Ah, that's the ticket. I was trying to run "fsck /dev/hd2s1", which resulted in a usage blurb. Using "fsck.ext2" instead of "fsck" makes all the difference in the world.So, for fsck, you would need to run fsck.ext2 /dev/hd2s1
Does that help any?
Completely. Thanks! -- Kent
