HD Install :: Use an existing GRUB install

If you use the code dsl fromhd=/dev/hda6 you will lose the hesitation as it will go straight to that partition rather than searching for the knoppix filesystem.

Thank you, sir.
'fromhd' does the trick. 'from hd' doesn't work as well, I find.
My dmesg now looks a lot more normal.
Instant booting, almost.

I have removed the original ramdisk= entry with no ill effect..

What exactly does the frugal entry accomplish?
I'm afraid to leave it off, but it does seem superfluous.
