# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file<BR>
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that<BR>
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.<BR>
# root (hd0,0)<BR>
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00<BR>
# initrd /initrd-version.img<BR>
#boot=/dev/hda<BR>
default=0<BR>
timeout=5<BR>

<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
You can change the time to wait in:<BR>
#boot=/dev/hda<BR>
default=0<BR>
timeout=5<BR>
<BR>
