solved Another GRUB issue, this time on a SCSI drive

[applemac]

Hi heres another grub issue...

I reinstalled today, as i have managed to get a scsi hdd for this box. Install went fine no issues, i think i have solved some of my last issues by starting again)

setup grub as my boot manager but it would not allow me to set the following:

root (sd0,0)

As it gave me an error stating that there was "an error passing number".

so i set it to:

root (hd0,0)

then when i defined root in grub.conf i set it as /dev/sda3

Now when i reboot i get a message from the bios "unable to load operating system"

Anyone know how i can fix this? i compiled the aic7xxx drivers for the new and old as part of the kernel (which i hope was the right thing to do as i do not know which to use) my scsi driver is onboard and is an adaptec aic-7890.

I have looked on the search but could not find any similar issues.

current drive setup:

60gig ide, dont want used, so have nothing done to this, i may actually unplug it .
9.1g scsi 3 partitions, sda1 as /boot sda2 as swap and sda3 as /

Thanks in advance
