Ah, right, sorry. The bit I pasted was not the bit I actually used. I
had changed the second one to hd0,4 in the running version but I didn't
back up that version of the file. I also forgot to mention that I had
found the ,a syntax while searching but that didn't help either.
Someone responded to me privately to suggest gag.sf.net, which seems
promising. Anyone have bad experiences with that?
