The topic sounds funny but it's mostly serious,


QUESTION: Studying C 'every day' 4 hours with good understanding,

kernel of some system or writing good apps without some trouble?


Here's your test.

There's a bootloader called Grub.
Your assignment is to change the 'root' command of Grub so that it not only takes the form 'root (hd<drive no.>,<partition no.>)' but also 'root FILE=<absolute file name>'. Root will now look for that file in all of the system and mount the partition that it is found in.

I can do it but I get errors and why is sure stumping me.
