 |
|
everytime I boot I have to tell it where the root partition is (/dev/hda3) (I used most of the defaults from the handbook)
I expect this is a value I must have entered incorrectly somewhere in one of the config files or something.
Anyone know precisely what file and string I have to enter? |

Are you using Grub or Lilo as a boot loader?
