caenis Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (hd0,0) means your os x partition...linux understands your hds by numbers, hd0 is drive number 1, hd1 is driver number 2, etc and the partitions are the second number, so hd0,0 is driver number 1 AND parition number 1. So for example, i have my os x parition on hd1,1 meaning driver number 2 and partition number 2 (because of the efi partition i suppose). so what iSIKH means to type "root (hd0,0)" with your corresponding driver number and partion number.
