thanks! i renamed the file, rebooted, loaded the configfile then
	grub> setup (hd0)
and it works fine now!

My only query is that when specifying the root file system i have to
specify using the /dev/hd* notation rather than the devfs way.
is there anyway i can direct the kernel to a root filesystem 
using devfs? [or is that a stupid questions as devfs is loaded 
from the root partition?]

thanks
