I'm not going to answer Les because he keeps changing the message to other topics that have nothing to do with this one. The subject is that I have a setup right now on my computer that is IMPOSSIBLE if, the rules for BIOS being thrown around are even close to being correct. I think they are at best too old or just wrong.

I have right now grub on the MBR of the Master Hard Drive which is (hd0) and the /boot/grub/ that the grub directs BIOS to find is on the second Hard Drive at /dev/sdb6/ which is (hd1,5) in Grub talk. I checked and /boot/grub/ is at least 7,000 cylinders up the second hard drive ;-)

So my point to Les and all of you is that BIOS works a whole lot better than everyone seems to think. It goes all the way to the second hard drive from the first, and then 7,000 cylinders more and starts my system. Every time for years 8-)
