Grub2 setup question

[colin davidson]

Hi Madi,

I can't help you, but I did find a Gentoo wiki page that looks useful:

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Grub2

You might be able to work out what you need from there - though it is
Gentoo-oriented.

Good luck - and don't forget that Grub 2 has "simplified" drive and
partition numbering.

Cheers, Colin
