Hmm...grub.conf should look like (using the correct kernel which I don't
know since I have Fedora Core 1, not RH 9):
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Redhat
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.whatever ro root=LABEL=/ hd?=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.whatever.img
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
I think. List: what'd I get wrong? Is there a #boot line needed?
