Documentation: DOS/Windows

[Rick Masters]

Pardon if this isn't the right email alias.
First, thanks for a great program. I am using it for booting readhat 9 
and windows xp.

I am writing to suggest a clarification in the documentation.
In the "Some caveats on OS-specific issues" subsection "DOS/Windows",  
there is an example of mapping hd0 to hd1 and visa versa for booting 
Windows on a non-first drive. I suggest the following change:

Change:
grub> map (hd0) (hd1)
grub> map (hd1) (hd0)

To:
grub> map (hd0) (hd1)
grub> map (hd1) (hd0)
grub> rootnoverify (hd1,0)
grub> chainloader +1
grub> makeactive
grub> boot

The addition of the four extra lines clarifies exactly how to boot - 
specifically that the rootnoverify command still refers to the second 
drive as hd1. The reason that is necessary is that the existence of the 
map commands combined with the second example in the same section which 
uses "rootverify (hd0,0)" conspires to mislead the reader that correct 
drive name for the secondary drive has been remapped to "hd0" when 
referenced in subsequent "root" commands. I kept trying to use 
"rootverify (hd0,0)", mainly based on the commands in the second example 
but I just got system lockup. I should have known that the second 
example was referring to a scenario where Windows is on the first drive 
but it doesn't actually say that. It said "one disk" but I was still 
thinking "one secondary disk" and misunderstood the commands. I was able 
to find the answer online without too much time spent but if the 
documentation included the remaining commands there would be no 
ambiguity as to how to boot to the secondary drive.

Thanks again for a great program.
Regards,
Rick
