-<para>Boot loading can be a complex area. First, a few cautionary words. You
-really should be familiar with your current boot loader and any other
-operating systems present on your hard drive(s) that you might wish to keep

-<para>Earlier, we compiled and installed the Grub boot loader software in

-<para>Grub uses its own naming structure for drives and partitions, in the form
-of (hdn,m), where <emphasis>n</emphasis> is the hard drive number, and
-<emphasis>m</emphasis> the partition number, both starting from zero. This
-means, for instance, that partition <filename class="partition">hda1</filename> is (hd0,0) to
-Grub, and <filename class="partition">hdb2</filename> is (hd1,1). In contrast to Linux, Grub
-doesn't consider CD-ROM drives to be hard drives, so if you have a CD on
-<filename class="partition">hdb</filename>, for example, and a second hard drive on
-<filename class="partition">hdc</filename>, that second hard drive would still be (hd1).</para>
