It's the second drive, master on my HPT370 controller. The first drive is |
10 |
master on the chipset IDE controller. I have tried root (hd0,0), (hd1,0), |
11 |
(hd3,0) and (hd4,0). |

Contrary to what has been implied in other posts I have RTFM (I used to run |
14 |
OpenBSD before Gentoo) and haven't had any success on my ABIT KT7. |

I have grub working quite nicely on my laptop and on my server. FWIW I also |
17 |
have DJBDNS and Qmail running quite nicely on the server as well...... |

I'm not opposed to grub in any way, I simply have not had the same degree of |
20 |
success with it as I have with lilo. And judging from the number of posts |
21 |
here on the topic I am by no means alone in this. |

The original poster to whom I replied seemed to question why anyone would |
24 |
possibly want to run anything other than grub, so I was trying to help him |
25 |
out. |
