Hi there,

Is there a way to display the information used to install grub in the
MBR, basically which partition grub will use to display menus, etc?

I have a machine with Linux installed on 2 separate partitions
/dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2. To my amazement, grub uses the menu in
/dev/hda2... So I imagine it was installed with root (hd0,1). Is
there a way to display if there were any other parameters stored?

Thanx
Dan

I inherited of this machine and I want to make sure I do not screw it
up before I do anything. It is pretty obvious that if I was the one
who originally set it up, I wouldn't be asking.... I did read the
docs and search the web and groups but I could not find anything.

Thanx
