<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I initially attempted install with 2x18GB U160 SCSI and 2x40GB EIDE. Grub seemed to want to install to hd0 though I was configuring /boot on sd0. The result of this was that I was getting invalid boot disk errors or no OS installed.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I switched to hd0 as /boot and upon booting started getting GRUB GRUB….. As the original report mentioned.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Finally attempted install after removing SCSI from equation and installed solely on IDE. Same result. Screen print GRUB ad infinitum. Have been unable to locate an documentation relating to this problem.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">And yes, my BIOS is configured to boot from correct drive.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.</FONT>
