Greetings:

  I'm trying to figure out how to write a grub.conf that will allow a 
choice between booting into Planet C's RH 8 or RH 9. Here's what I know 
about the drive structure:

    For RH8:

       /dev/hda1 /boot
       /dev/hda2 /
       /dev/hda3 /swap

    For RH9:

        /dev/hda5 /boot
        /dev/hda6 /
        /dev/hda7 /swap

  A single drive has been partitioned to accommodate both systems. The 
RH8 install was the first installation, and in the process of installing 
RH9 grub was rewritten for it (and not for the RH8 partition). So, how 
do I indicate the choices ? Here's what I'm thinking about for an edited 
grub.conf :

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
### RH9
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma)
        root (hd0,4)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma ro root=LABEL=/1 hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma.img
### RH8
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.19-1.ll)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.19-1.ll ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.19-1.ll.img

Is this kosher ? What will happen if it's incorrect, and what should I 
do if grub fails ? How do I specify that I want RH8 to be the default 
system ?

Btw, when the RH8 partition is mounted from RH9 (mount /dev/hda1 
/mnt/rh8) we discovered that /mnt/rh8/etc/grub.conf is a broken link. 
I'm sorry about the confusion, but I've never edited grub.conf.

Best,
