1 Hello All,
2
3 Just so you know my setup is like this:
4 /dev/sda1 /boot
5 /dev/sda5 /swap
6 /dev/sda6 /
7 /dev/sda7/TV
8
9 I don't have any thing for my sdb or hdd or fd0 as I have not at that
10 point of trying to mount them.
11
12 If there is a better way to do all of this I would greatly be greatful
13 if some one could help me using ssh or even phone as this would be
14 much much faster as the person that was helping me was using ssh to
15 give me the information to do things, this is very hard as I was
16 trying to give input from one screen and typeing on another and this
17 is very hard when you have a vision and also a lang issue (I speak en
18 but have a hard time spelling :-( )

74 Comment: As you can see I have # the line under the kernel as this was
75 in the kernel line and I figure I would try what is in the kernel
76 before I went to the above grub.conf file, same note about windows not
77 loading also
