Dual boot Vista & Lenny.
Just installed Lenny on an HP Vista laptop. No error messages until I
booted - /dev/sda3 does not exist, try /dev/hda3. I edited the grub stuff
to /dev/hda3 - same message. I am dropped into an ash shell, prompt says
(intrafms). I put grub into the mbr - perhaps I shouldn't have. So,
neither sda3 nor hda3 exist. Vista boots, btw. Any hints, pointers, etc
appreciated.

If you use the TAB key in grub when you are typing in: --> /dev/
then Grub make suggestions as to what it can 'see'. Maybe that will help.
If all else fails then what I would do is download and burn Gparted's
LiveCD and boot that up. Once you've got that up and running you can
visually see all the partitions and work out what what the partition
you're after is called.
