Grub Editing
Hi: I have two hard disks with three operating systems and using GRUB. I am booting Windows and Mepis okay but haven't yet figured out what to put in the Menu.list for FedoraCore3. Fedora is on hdb3. Here is what l have so far in my menu:

I don't think I've ever seen anythin quite like this ... :)
title Use a qwerty keyboard with GRUB But anyway, if you are booted up into MEPIS, you can mount the FC3 system so you can have a look in it's /boot directory to see what it has for a kernel and initrd. Also, if your lucky there may be a menu.lst to look at. Then you can put that info into your MEPIS grub. mkdir /mnt/test mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/test |
Hi Homey: Thanks for the quick reply but l finally through trial, error and persistance got it figured out. Fedora boots up for me now. Mepis installed GRUB so this file is in MEPIS boot/grub/menu.lst of course. It now lets me boot up 2 Mepis kernels,XP or Fedora Core 3. Here it is:
