Configuring grub: how do I determine location of /boot?

[miscreant]

According to the HowTo they're talking about /boot being on a different
partition than the root (/) directory.



If that's the case, chances are your /boot is mounted at startup, so
typing:



mount



at the command prompt should give you an idea about where /boot is, or
looking at your fstab file by typing



cat /etc/fstab



at the command prompt.



If you don't see /boot in either of these places but can still go into
/boot and see files there, then it's probably on the same partition as
your root directory.



Having never updated grub in the manner they use in the howto I can't
really tell you much more about it. My menu.lst file is in my
/boot/grub directory and simply editing the file in a text editor has
worked for me.
