two FSCKED-UPS

[Mike Reinehr]

Bob,

When you installed Grub to the MBR during your RH9 installation, where did you 
place your boot directory, hda1? If so, have you examined the 
boot/grub/menu.lst file? What entries are contained in this file? In order to 
boot your Suse & Win98 o/s's you would have to have stanzas appropriate to 
them. In the case of Suse it would be something similar to:

	title		Suse
	root		(hd0,4)
	kernel	/suse-kernel-image	root=/dev/hda6
	initrd	/suse-initrd-image

If it's not there, can you mount /dev/hda5 onto your RH file system and look 
at the boot/grub/menu.lst file there? If so, then just copy the Suse stanza 
to the RH menu.lst file.

HTH
