Thanks, Thomas. I have three hard disks: hda (MS Windows), hdb
(Mandriva) and hdc (FC4).

# fdisk -l /dev/hda
bash: fdisk: command not found
#
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
#          root (hd2,0)
#          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdc1
#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
