That means, that discs are hd0, hd1, etc.Conversion table is:/dev/fd0 (fd0) /dev/hda (hd0) /dev/hdb2 (hd1,1) /dev/hda3 (hd0,2)But what if the disc on which I install the system is connected via USB?

In my case I have Grub on the MBR of my external USB hd and BIOS set to boot first the external drive, then the internal HD. That means the USB drive is hd0 and the internal HD is hd1 as

On boot I receive this error message: Kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=nil splash=silent splash=silent [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x120452] Error 23: Error while parsing number Press any key to continue… I checked the device grub error while map and that seems ok. The system will boot off of the CD just not off the hard disk. Any ideas?

Maybe you could change it to something like this..... root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz- Some Numbers Here ro root=/dev/hda2 initrd /boot/initrd- Some Numbers Here .img Change the Some Numbers Here part to the Kernel version. You can get that by typing uname -r Reply With Quote 06-15-2003,04:59 PM #3 JohnT View Profile View Forum Posts Visit Homepage Registered User Join Date Jul 2002 Location Vladivostok, Russia Posts 9,054 http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/gru...r/grub_13.html "I was pulled over for speeding today.

Boot CD ROM in grub4dos Error Started by copain , Jul 12 2011 10:50 AM Please log in to reply 13 replies to this topic #1 copain copain Newbie Members 13 posts  India Posted 12 July 2011 - 10:50 AM How can i boot cd rom from grub4dos..? I was trying to boot a Hiren boot cd from my cd rom I followed diddy tutorial(http://diddy.boot-la...os/Grub4dos.htm)but it didnt work for me..He is describing different options but none of them worked. As he said i added this to menu.lst title Boot CD-ROM - (cd) chainloader (cd) rootnoverify (cd) boot Then i got Error 23: Error while parsing number Then i tried the second option title Boot CD-ROM - (cd0) cdrom --init map --hook chainloader (cd0) rootnoverify (cd0) boot Now i got Error 43: The BPB hidden_sectors should not be zero for a hard-disk partition boot sector I moved on to next option ie,Bootable CD Loader..But unfortunately i couldnt find a newer version(BCDL version 2.01a) in any locations after through googling..Only got the last stable version ie,version 1.50z.. (Diddy is saying that v1.50z willnot work,v2.01a is needed..Still i tried with v1.50z) title Boot CD Loader find --set-root /bcdl150z.ima map --mem /bcdl150z.ima (fd0) map --hook root (fd0) chainloader (fd0)+1 boot But this time i could boot the cd,but got stuck at the bootscreen of hiren(option1.boot from hard disk & option2.boot from cd) Then i googled again and found a method to boot cd rom using memdisk and sbootmgr.dsk like this title CD ROM find --set-root /grub/sbootmgr.dsk kernel /grub/memdisk.bin initrd /grub/sbootmgr.dsk But this time i could able to go one more step ahead.ie,the boot screen of hiren came and when i selected the option boot from cd,a blank screen came with cursor blinking.. How can i add boot from cd option to grub4dos ???Any solutions.. Also does anyone have BootCDLoader version 2.01a with you or any source to get that??? Edited by copain, 12 July 2011 - 10:54 AM.
