The path you specify in the "kernel" line is relative to the partition |
| 16 |
specified in the "root" line (which should be tha partition whose |
| 17 |
filesystem contains the kernel image). If your /boot is on a separate |
| 18 |
partition, this means that using "kernel /boot/kernel...." would be |
| 19 |
incorrect, since there is no /boot directory in the partition mounted |
| 20 |
in /boot. Rather, all the files are located at the first level (from |
| 21 |
grub's (hd0,0) standpoint). |
