Problem root=(hd1,0)

[Jackson, Harry]

Hi everyone 

My first post. So forgive me any nuances.

I tried to install the HURD last night and ran into a couple of problems.

When I tried to reboot for the first time I was told to type
root=(hd1,0)
at the command prompt, where hd1 is the hard disk I wish to boot from.

My current setup is three hard disks two of which are mirrored ide and the
other is
dedicated to Linux Mandrake. the partition of the new /gnu id called under
Linux hdf9
when I tried to type 
root=(hdf9,0)

It said something about being unable to parse system.

I tried various entries one of which seemed to wipe my fstab under Linux.

Is it possible to add these parameters to /etc/lilo.conf and get it to work
that way


Regards;
Harry Jackson.
