I started from scratch, and recompiled everything, reformatted, and the like. Now I get the following message: DoC Mil D000 E698 Jumping to Grub Attempting to open /boot/grub/menu.lst on drive 0xe0, partition 0xff Unknown ChipID a0 at c8000 DiskOnChip Millennium found at d0000 floor 0, chip 0; manufacturer: Toshiba Chip: Toshiba TC58V64AFT/DC, total size: 8MiB erase unit: 8192 bytes, page: 512 byes unknown manufacturer code: 0x43 Total of 1 chips found - total capacity 8 MiB Scanning for NFTL Media Header NFTL Media Header found in flash sector 208 nftl_rawread(): error 16 in memcpy() or earlier, press any key Interestingly enough, after I boot the machine to the HDD by entering the commands in grub manually, I no longer have a nftl partition. Does grub write to the DOC upon booting? -g On Tue, 2002-08-06 at 14:04, Ilguiz Latypov wrote: > > On 6 Aug 2002, Glen wrote: > > > Attempting to open /boot/grub/menu.lst 0x0 0x0 > > Attempting to open /boot/grub/menu.lst 0x0 0x1 > > I believe there were attempts to open configuration file on disk 0xe0 > (DiskOnChip fake BIOS drive number just for the GRUB's internal BIOS disk > access API).
