27 If I change the above hd0 to hd1, will that fix grub? At the moment
28 Grub isn't loading, however, as hd0 has been formatted.
29
30 So, hd0 needs a boot partition, then at least knoppix will run from
31 the hard drive.
32
33 Ok, easiest thing here is probably to install knoppix, give a MBR to
34 hd0, then I can mount hd1. I'm going to continue with installing
35 knoppix. If I knew a bit more about grub then I'd fix grub so that
36 it'd boot gentoo (hd1,0), gentoo (hd1,4) and knoppix (hd0,0), but I'm
37 a bit hesitant.
