The stage tarball creates a symlink in /boot called boot that points to . (i.e. boot->.)
So it doesn't matter which way you do it.
Also, if the user doesn't choose to use a seperate boot partition, then you have to have the (hd0,0)/boot in there... |

Quote: | Besides, if you chose to use a different partitioning scheme and did not put /boot in a separate partition, the /boot prefix used in the above code samples is really required. If you followed our suggested partitioning plan, the /boot prefix it not required, but a boot symlink makes it work. In short, the above examples should work whether you defined a separate /boot partition or not. |

Better yet:
That's why I love GNU/Linux: everything exists for a reason AND is fully documented instead of hidden because of "Proprietary Intellectual Property". _________________ Gentoo: it's like wiping your ass with silk. |
