It will work, provided you call the file menu.lst, because the GRUB FAT |
| 8 |
driver can only handle 8.3 filenames. The same applies when using GRUB on |
| 9 |
a CD, it can't read grub.conf because it's not an ISO 9660 Level 1 name, |
| 10 |
but it works fine with menu.lst. |

So, in a way, grub.conf is a Linux file, because it needs to be on a |
| 13 |
Linux filesystem for GRUB to read it :-/ |
