Here is my actual grub mneu.lst on a multi-boot machine.
Many parameters passed to the kernel on SuSE 9.1, but these problems are motherboard related. Still working on it.

Best things in life are free. When you grow older, free means free as the cheese of a mouse trap.

Sorry for the old topic post, kinda stuck on this one...

A simple grub text boot loader (Synatax?) for openSUSE 10.2 ppc, macosx, and boot to a cdrom?

Danke
