I did a reboot after "installkernel" so i know the 6.1-PRE kernel was able to boot, and GRUB did not complain too.

From floppy? yes, booting from grub-floppy root (hd0,1,a) kernel /boot/loader setup (hd0) no error up to here! but typing "boot" does not boot, it reboots the system without errormessage. Booting XP or Linux works with the grub-floppy by just typing the root and kernel line from menu.lst and "boot" [auge@seth ~]% cat /boot/grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 2 title FreeBSD --> The Power to Serve root (hd0,1,a) kernel /boot/loader title Gentoo Linux root (hd0,2) kernel /kernel root=/dev/hda3 title Windoof --> The eXPerience root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 > What are your configuration files? menu.lst what else?
