I am working in getting grub straightened out on my relocated hard drive http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=574942. In the mean time, I was wondering how to boot up my drive from the Ubuntu 7.04 installation CDROM. I know that there has to be a way, as I used to do that from slackware's installation CDROM, by issuing the following at the 'boot' prompt: Code: boot=huge.s root=/dev/hdb2 rdinit= ro Any help would be appreciated.
