Need help with booting

[jmak]

Hello,

I've just installed sabayon on my computer, but I haven't istalled grub because i didn't want to to wipe out ubuntu. After installation, i tried to install grub into its own partition in order to retrieve sabayon booting data and paste into the ubuntu menu.lst for booting. Normally, this method works with other distros. However, in sabayon I cannot find the menu.lst in the grub folder. Can anyone tell me how to get the boot info after installation? Or could someone paste the the mini 3.3 boot list here so that I can copy it into my menu.lst.

thanks,
jmak

This is for 3.4 loop 1

title Sabayon 3.4 at hdb8
root (hd1,7)
kernel (hd1,7)/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.21-rc5-sabayon root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sdb8 splash=silent,theme:default quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 vga=791
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.21-rc5-sabayon


Only thing you need to change is the kernel (2 places) -- note there are only 4 lines -- kernel thru vga=791 is one line

(Sabayon uses grub.conf rather than menu.lst -- but when you tell it not to install GRUB it doesn't write enough info to enable you to figure anything out.)

Here's 3.3 (edit)

title Sabayon Linux x86-64 3.3
root (hd1,5)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.20-sabayon-r3 root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sdc6 quiet init=/linuxrc splash=silent,theme:sabayon vga=791 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.20-sabayon-r3
