Attached (menu.lst points to grub.conf). I also attached the file called device.map that I found in the grub folder. |

"find /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-gentoo-r8" |
22 |
|

Produces 15: unable to find file |

|
25 |
However: |
26 |
|
27 |
localhost ~ # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/floppy/ |
28 |
localhost ~ # ls /mnt/floppy/boot/ |
29 |
boot config config-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 grub kernel.current kernel.old System.map System.map-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 vmlinuz vmlinuz-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 |

Also, the floppy seeks for some reason when running find despite not being in the "device.map" file that I found. It is supposed to? |
