greetings,
I use lilo and Extlinux as my loaders, but recently decided to give grub a chance.
The first thing I am having troubles is this:
When I have my usb connected I have to tell grub to root to (hd1,0)
but if my usb is not plugged then I have to specify root to (hd0,0)...
which is very annoying, since I sometimes boot from my usb and other times directly from my hdd.
In lilo and extlinux i just have to specify /dev/sda# and thats it... no confusion.
I kind of like grub but is there anyway to configure grub with global device names instead of hd#?
this is my current menu.lst

root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-custom root=/dev/sda2
title LFS 6.4
root (hd1,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4
