[pocket-linux] GRUB loader for read/write in Chapter 4

[James Maki]

I have progressed to Chapter 4, and with a few tweaks and re-do's, it boots.
BUT, I do not have write ability as the chapter 4.4 implementation examples
indicate. I am sure the problem is with grub. This is my grub.conf file:

# /boot/grub/grub.conf  -  GRUB configuration file for Pocket Linux
color=light-gray/blue black/light-gray
#
# The following is for Chapter 2 & 3 boot disk
# title=bootdisk (Test Boot Disk Configuration)
#     kernel (fd0)/boot/vmlinuz  root=/dev/fd0  mount=read-only \
#     vga=normal init=/bin/sh  load_ramdisk=1  prompt_ramdisk=1
#
# Chapter 4 boot disk without mount=read-only
 title=bootdisk (Test Boot Disk Configuration WRITE ENABLED?)
    kernel (fd0)/boot/vmlinuz  root=/dev/fd0 mount=read-write \
    vga=normal init=/bin/sh  load_ramdisk=1  prompt_ramdisk=1
#
# End of configuration file

I also tried to just remove the mount=read-only from the Chapter 2&3 boot
disk configuration file, but that did not work. I am a linux and grub novice
so any pointers would be helpful. I have searched google and the man and
info pages for grub with no success. I am hoping this is a simple fix.

Thanks,
