Hi all, Roger proposes to remove the (redundant) "(hd0,0)" from the grub.conf example we give. I've been reported several times that this was redundant and we should remove it, but I've always ignored the reports because - the instructions weren't flawed - users who place the kernel on a different partition know with the current example how to edit their config
But I'm now convinced we should remove it, because
- I can't refuse anything Roger sais
- I haven't seen any user on #gentoo place his kernels elsewhere
The patch needed is included beneith. If there are no objections I'll commit
this one tomorrow.
Wkr,
Sven Vermeulen
