<para>Grub uses its own naming structure for drives, in the form of (hdn,m),
where n is the hard drive number, and m is the partition number, both of which
start from zero. So, partition hda1 would be (hd0,0) to Grub, and hdb2 would
be (hd1,1). Also, Grub doesn't pay attention to CD-ROM drives at all, so if,
for example, you have a CD on hdb, and a second hard drive on hdc, partitions
on that second hard drive would still be (hd1,m).</para>
<para>Grub uses its own naming structure for drives and partitions, in the form
of (hdn,m), where <emphasis>n</emphasis> is the hard drive number, and
<emphasis>m</emphasis> the partition number, both starting from zero. This
means, for instance, that partition <filename>hda1</filename> is (hd0,0) to
Grub, and <filename>hdb2</filename> is (hd1,1). In contrast to Linux, Grub
doesn't consider CD-ROM drives to be hard drives, so if you have a CD on
<filename>hdb</filename>, for example, and a second hard drive on
<filename>hdc</filename>, that second hard drive would still be (hd1).</para>

<para>Using the above information, determine the appropriate designator for
your root partition. For the folowing example, we'll assume your root partition
is <filename>hda4</filename>.</para>
<para><screen><userinput>root (hd0,3)

quit</userinput></screen></para>
<para>First, tell Grub where to search for its <filename>stage{1,2}</filename>
files -- you can use Tab everywhere to make Grub show the alternatives:</para>
<para>This tells Grub to look for its files on hda4 (hd0,3), and install itself
into the MBR (Master Boot Record) of hda.</para>
<para><screen><userinput>root (hd0,3)</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Also, we need to create the <filename>menu.lst</filename> file, which
Grub uses to designate its boot menu:</para>
<para>Then tell it to install itself into the MBR (Master Boot Record) of
<filename>hda</filename>:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>cat &gt; /boot/grub/menu.lst &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<para><screen><userinput>setup (hd0)</userinput></screen></para>
<para>If all is well, Grub will have reported finding its files in
<filename>/boot/grub</filename>. That's all there was to it:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>quit</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Now we need to create the <filename>menu.lst</filename> file, which
defines Grub's boot menu:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>cat &gt; /boot/grub/menu.lst &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
# Begin /boot/grub/menu.lst
# Default to first menu entry
# By default boot the first menu entry.
