Hi!
I'm at stage 23.3 how do I get grub as the MBR?

I've done root (hd0,0) is that the MBR? I'm not very sure :roll:

You want to do setup (hd0), that will install it on the MBR of the primary drive. You want to do root (hdx,y) on where your /boot partition is. Remember that GRUB uses numbers instead of letters, starting with 0. So the second partition on the second drive would be (hd1,1)

No, to install it on the MBR you have to do setup (hd0), which will install it on the MBR of the primary drive (which is where I'm assuming you want it. You do root (hdx,y) to tell it where to put the GRUB folder, which would be in your /boot directory.
