how to grub boot slackware12.2

[hshzh359]

Hi:
I hava installed slackware12.2.
partition:
boot on /dev/sda10
/ on /dev/Vg1/root
I don't have installed lilo,when I want boot slackware from grub command line:
kernel (hd0,9)/vmlinux-* ro root=/dev/Vg1/root
boot

it's reported an error:can't find root "Vg1/root"
VFS:...................????

how can I write my boot options to boot my slackware from grub???

You have a slackware partition on /dev/sda10 but your directing grub to mount read only /dev/Vg1/root. I'm not that familiar with grub but do you have a device identified as Vg1? Do you mean /dev/sda10/Vg1/root or /dev/sda10/root?
Here is the manual page from grub wiki

Boot up from any LiveCD and post the contents of /etc/fstab file here.

shszh359:

if syntax is messed up grub wont read: try if this will solve ---

root (hd0,9)
kernel /root/vmlinuz root=/dev/Vg1/root ro splash
boot

(Note: if your partitions is not active yet try insert command "makeactive" above --before-- "boot"

(Also: Slack 12.2 contains grub*.tgz @ /dvd/extra directory. You must first go there and installpkg grub to your root partition then chroot to that partition at /root then issue "grub-install" this makes your root partition a kind of grub aware or grub prepared to accomodate booting process when it is pointed to by the MBR.)

Hope this helps.

Goodluck.
