Grub help
Hi All,
At the grub prompt we are giving the root command as root (hd0,0). Can you please help me to understand what exactly root (hd0,0) means and what it will do.

hd0 = first hard disk (hda or sda). A second hard disk would be hd1.
second zero after the comma - the partition number (in this case 0 is the first partition). 0 to 3 are equal to partitions 1 to 4.
It's really that simple.
First hard disk, second partition (hd0,1)
second hard disk, third partition (hd1,2)
Hope that helped.
They also just released 1.97. But the only manual for it is located within the man pages. Check them out by going to the command line and typing in man grub2 or grub2 --help .
