Hi Dave
Should not grub be installed on /dev/hdc and not /dev/hdc1 ?
Does the grub prompt come up when you boot ????
It is does then
Does it find the kernel (and initrd ) when you
grub>kernel (hd1,0)/vmTAB ro root=/dev/hdc3
grub>initrd (hd1,0)/initrdTAB
If it doesn't give grub> prompt then
I have put a bootable grub CDROM image at
www.vigla.eclipse.co.uk
and I have been waiting for at least 10mins for someone to down load it
and test it!!!!
You can burn it with something like
cdrecord -scanbus
cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0 xxx.iso
where you may or may not need the ATA: and the 1,0,0 matches the scanbus
