First of all, it should probably read "logical" instead of "primary" for your / partition, given the output of grub is correct. On the other hand, it should suffice to add the "boot" option to the /boot - configuration, so it looks like primary /boot 50-100 rw ; -c -j ext2 boot Thereby - it is marked bootable - a variable is set to tell the GRUB postinst-script, which partition to use as a GRUB root device. Alternatively, you could also modify the files in <configspace>/files/boot/grub/menu.lst/ as needed. HTH, Michael
