Pip and Lenard,
        I tried both of your suggestions, and it still fails to see my
partition. I get to the splash screen and select Ferdora. Then it reads
root (0,4) partition does not exist error code 22 hit any key to
continue. I've even tried hdc2, which is what the boot disk says it is
booting to and I get the same results. root(0,4) worked for before this.
Now I'm lost.
