Booting Problems:
I recently ran YaST under SUSE 10.0 to apply the recent patches. All went well. After the update, I worked on some e-mail via Evolution, Compiled a C program successfully, then due to someone with a back-hoe the power went out.
When the power returned, I restarted my machine and I get these terminal messages:

----
To restart I must have the 10.0 CD 1 in the CDROM and do an INSTALLATION
Other
reboot installed system
a box appears with SUSE Linux 7.3 /dev/hdc3 i386
SUSE Linux 10.0 /dev/hdd7 i386
I select Linux 10.0 and everything seems to be okay.
Now what do I need to edit to have it boot directly from the HD and not via the CD Installation steps?
Why can the Installation process find and boot from hdd7 when the HD boot cannot mount it?
What should I be looking for?
Thank you in advance.
