Yeah, grub never uses sd* names, always hd* and always in the order |

presented |
| 9 |
by BIOS (as opposed to Linux, which presents them as they are discovered |
| 10 |
through device probing with names dependent on the module/subsystem). |

You can probably use grub TAB-completion to determine the correct (hd*) |
| 15 |
setting. Generally, your boot partition will have a vmlinux or vmlinuz |
| 16 |
file |
| 17 |
on it. So, the workflow would go something like: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
GRUB> (hd<TAB> |
| 20 |
0 1 |
| 21 |
GRUB> (hd0,<TAB> |
| 22 |
0 1 2 3 |
| 23 |
GRUB> (hd0,0)/vm<TAB> |
| 24 |
GRUB> (hd0,1)/vm<TAB> |
| 25 |
GRUB> (hd0,2)/vm<TAB> |
| 26 |
vmlinuz vmlinuz.old vmlinuz-gentoo-2.6.19-r2 vmlinuz-gentoo-2.6.18-r6 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
At this point you know your /boot partition is (hd0,2) in grub-speak. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
If don't have a dedicated /boot partition, and instead it's part of the / |
| 31 |
filesystem you'll want to look for boot/vmlinux or boot/vmlinuz instead. |
| 32 |
This may work even if you have a /boot parition, since some |
| 33 |
ditros/administrator put a symbolic link "boot" to "." in /boot when it's |
| 34 |
on |
| 35 |
a partition by itself. |
