[LUNI] Grub question

[Javier Salazar]

Thanks, that did the trick.  My problem was that I used "make bzdisk" so 
that I could test the kernel
before installing it.  By doing that it installed the intrd file on the 
diskette, not on the hard drive.
I copied the file from the diskette, modified the menu.lst file and 
re-booted. Worked like a charm :-).

Thanks to all the helped.
