no linux after reboot

[Grant Allan]

hi,

i have some more news: grub.conf looks OK to me.
but grub-install generates an error as follows:
   /dev/hdd1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive

does that maybe mean that i should jump into BIOS and get it to autodetect
my hard drives?  i forgot to do that yesterday.


cheers,
grant
