I seem to have given you the impression that I am affiliated with gnu or grub; I'm not; I'm sorry. I stumbled upon the link that I posted earlier because I followed my bookmarked link to the grub1 manual and landed on the grub2 manual... I have just tried the same search and am unable to find the same cached document. The only grub legacy pages that I can find on gnu.org are: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-legacy-support.en.html http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-legacy.en.html The first has the following at the top: 'You can browse the documentation of GNU GRUB by "info grub" on your shell prompt (or use your favorite Info browser, if you don't like info).'
