Re: Grub, latest adventure

[J Y <jhy@x-mail.net>]

Hi, 
This is my latest menu 1st. It doesn't work. Mostly I just boot whatever
I want from floppy. 
 SuSE (the 1st entry titled "linux" does boot) Maybe windows does now
too. I haven't checked that since  
my most recent editing. I did enter "grub" at a  terminal window, and
when I typed "root (' the response was  
"selected disk does not exsist"  When I typed 'kernel /'  I got "invalid
device requested". I also found I could produce 
 the same error (error 15: file system not found) which is what I get
now at start up when I click debian or slack,  
by entering 'kernel /boot/vmlinuz and the correct path. I do not know
what's wrong.
