Hey,

That does exist. I got a GRUB bootdisk from floppy from the
LinuxForums.org Tutorial on GRUB about booting it up. So I got GRUB
running from the Floppy and ran the following cmds from grub>
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
and
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.img
and then
boot

And it started up successfully!

Yet when I take out the floppy and just try and boot from the Hard
Drive It just loads the black screen with the writing
GRUB Loading stage1.5

Thanks!
