RE: Grub from floppy/answ. to O.Kulev

[sigbj-st]

Dear mr.Kulev,
Just have an hour ago before I read your messages I was reading through grub 
with "info grub" in linux.I just entered 'title hurd' above in menu.lst so I 
had
       title hurd
       root ............
       kernel ...........
       module ............
       module ............

and followed the entrances  in the walfield paper.This solved everything,and I 
don't have to write the extremely long entrances for every boot any more.In 
other words: I lacked the 'title' command to make the menu.lst work for grub
Else,I pay attention to your recommendations;
