LinuxQuestions.org - grub problems...gentoo on slave

hello,

I'm installing gentoo on my slave drive of IDE1. When I get to the grub setup I'm alittle confused as to how to setup the partition/HDD settings.

for the actual setup i used:

Code:

root (hd1,0)

setup (hd0,0)

quit

and my grub config is:

Code:

default 0

timeout 30

splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz



title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.25

root (hd1,0)

kernel /kernel-2.4.25-gentoo root=/dev/hda3

splash image does not load...i just get a blinkin cursor and when I hit enter text appears all funky looking that says something like 'couldnt mount partition...filesystem unknown'.

Now does grub.conf read the hd info differently than when i setup grub? If linux is on my IDE slave drive wouldnt my splashimage and root in grub.conf have to point to hd1,0?
