Here's your test.

There's a bootloader called Grub.
Your assignment is to change the 'root' command of Grub so that it not
only takes the form 'root (hd<drive no.>,<partition no.>)' but also
'root FILE=<absolute file name>'.
Root will now look for that file in all of the system and mount the
partition that it is found in.

I can do it but I get errors and why is sure stumping me.
