Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I was reading your excellent installation documentation online, and I |
| 4 |
ran into a question. Near the end you're breaking down the commands for |
| 5 |
grub, but you leave some information out that I would like to know: |

| 9 |
root (hd0,5) |
| 10 |
chainloader +1 |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I'm unclear as to what the (hd0,5) are pointing to, is to say "boot of |
| 13 |
off the FAT partition located at partition 5"? Normally MS likes to |
| 14 |
reside on the primary partition of the drive, so I just want clarification |
| 15 |
on this. For instance, if I have a dual boot, MS on the primary partition |
| 16 |
and Gentoo's root at (sd0,3), then I would put root (sd0,1) under my |
| 17 |
Windows boot section, correct? And also, what does the chainloader +1 |
| 18 |
command do? Thank you fo your time, I'm an old fan of lilo, but I have |
| 19 |
been cosidering migrating to a newer bootloader :) |
