I’ve got opensuse 11 on sda and xp on sdb. I can’t seem to find a working stanza to boot my sdb xp installation. Any tips would be appreciated. I reran the grub install since I had the problem to give yast a chance to figure it out and that didn’t seem to help either.
One quick note about my config. I had my xp drive pulled out when I ran the suse installation.
