GRUB refers to hard drives and partitions. Your /boot partition containing the |
| 358 |
<path>/dev/sda2</path> will most likely be called <path>(hd0,1)</path> under |
358 |
Linux kernel and maybe the initrd at <path>/dev/sda2</path> will most likely |

GRUB. Notice the parentheses around the <path>hd0,1</path> - they are |

be called <path>(hd0,1)</path> under GRUB. Notice the parentheses around the |

handbook into their correspondent GRUB names assuming that <path>/dev/sda</path> |
