editing GRUB question
Hi..
I want to edit my GRUB file in order to start RH and Windoze (both 98 and XP hat boot with NTLDR).
-Should I add this text in order to have a choice between RH and NTLDR in GRUB :
title Windows NT / Windows 95 boot menu
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
---------------------------------------------------
or this one?
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
-----------------------------------------------------
-Where should I add the text in the GRUB file? (beginning, end..?)
thanks!

you can put it at the end, or beginning, that doesn't matter.
This is my Grub.conf, so you get an idea.
title WinBLOWS!
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
This is all I have in my grub in regard to Windows. It is at the end of the file as well....
Now...what is exactly the device adress for your hardrive and Windows partitions. /dev/hd?

I believe that:
title Windows NT / Windows 95 boot menu
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
is correct and the "makeactive" statement should not be required. As for placement, you can make this stanza the last one and have a "default=n" statement that points to whichever statement you want as default. The "n" will be any number from "0" on up, with "0" being the first listed stanza. So if you have two stanzas with the first listing Linux boot parameters and the second listing the Windoze stuff, then default=1 would be appropriate.
