GRUB Helpand

[Michael ODonnell]

I have a dual-boot machine.  FWIW, here is how fdisk describes
its two partitions - note that both are marked bootable:

      Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
   /dev/hda1   *           1        3243    26049366    7  HPFS/NTFS
   /dev/hda2            3244        9728    52090762+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
   /dev/hda5   *        3244        9728    52090731   83  Linux


...and here's my /boot/grub/menu.lst:

   #
   ## Boot automatically after 5 secs.
   timeout 5
   #
   ## By default, boot the first entry.
   default 0
   #
   ## Fallback to the second entry.
   fallback 1
   #
   # Entry 0
   #
   title WinXP
   rootnoverify (hd0,0)
   chainloader +1
   #
   # Entry 1
   #
   title linux2.6.3-1-686-smp
   root (hd0,4)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-1-686-smp root=/dev/hda5
   initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.3-1-686-smp
   #
   # Entry 2
   #
   title linux2.4.24
   root (hd0,4)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-1-686-smp root=/dev/hda5
