This is a general question about the contents of a grub.conf file.
Why does some examples of a grub.conf file look like this with a simple
title,root,chainloader scheme:
Code:
title Suse 9.1 pro @ hda9
root (hd0,8)
chainloader +1
title eLive 0.3 @ hda10
root (hd0,9)
chainloader +1
title Red Hat 9 @ hda11
root (hd0,10)
chainloader +1
and other examples have
title, root, kernel, and initrd in them:
Code:
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.27_FC3)
root (hd1,6)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.27_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.27_FC3.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)
root (hd1,6)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
I plan on setting up a dual boot system (XP,ubuntu,FC5 and opensuse) and i need to better understand this.
