Hi,
I've read the manual and still had some questions that hadn't been answered.
Take a look at them and see if you can be bothered to update your
documentation to answer them.
Thank you for your time.

The Questions
=========
Ive got a 90 MHz Pentium which cant boot CDs. Ive got a Red Hat 8
(Publishers Edition) which must be booted from CD. What is the GRUB
configuration file needed to achieve booting from CDROM? I still have a
floppy disk drive that can be booted from. Im reviewing a RH8 for Dummies
book for the Association of C & C++ Users (www.accu.org/terse/unix.htm) and
would like to incorporate the fix because the books CDs insist that the PC
boots from them.
THINKING ABOUT HARD DISKS this might be something to go in one of your
manuals.
In a hard disks Cylinder, Head and Sector mode
Is the first
sector(C=0,H=0,S=0) the MBR (the Master Boot Record). Do cylinder usage skip
cylinder 0 (as used by MBR) and start at the second cylinder (C=1,H=0,S=0) ?
If they do then arent we wasting a load of sectors in cylinder 0?
