I can't speak for the vfat - I've always thought the boot disks were ext2. > Remember, I have 2 separate hds and am trying to boot to hdb. Following the >instruction and > notes in the 7.2 CD, I installed Grub on hdb rather than hda. Again, sorry I wasn't following this very closely. Ok, based on the above, before slashing and burning, you still have the opportunity to coax grub/lilo to do the right thing - boot off of hdb. There are much more qualified people than me on this list, but in a nutshell you can do things like tell it to use hdb, or if that fails logically switch the hda and hdb drives. It will require some reading in any event. You may just want to take the easy route and do a fresh install. charles _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
