Which three statements are true about the behavior and configuration of GRUB on this system?

Examine some of the contents of the /boot/grub/grub.com file from an Oracle Linux system:
Default=0
Timeout=5
Splashimage=(hd0, 0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
Hiddenmenu
Title Oracle Linux Server (2.6.39-100.0.12.16uek.x86_64)
Root (hd0, 0)
Kernet /vmlinuz-2.6.39-100.0.12.e16uek.x86_64 ro root=UUIP=a4b6049b-9aa1-44b4-87cf-aebb17alcdf9 rd_NO_LUKS re_NO_LVM rd_NO_DM

Which three statements are true about the behavior and configuration of GRUB on this system?
A. (hd0, 0) represents the first partition on device /dev/hd0.
B. The hiddenmenu directive hides the GRUB menu only for 5 seconds after which it becomes visible again.
C. The root directive specifies an initial root filesystem, allowing access to block device modules to mount the real root filesystem on disk.
D. (hd0, 0) represents the first partition on the first drive detected by the BIOS.
E. The initrd directive specifies the initamfs, an initial root filesystem in RAM, allowing access to block device modules to mount the real root filesystem.
F. Each kernel must have an initramfs that matches the version of the kernel.
G. Because there is an Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel installed, it must be the default kernel listed as shown by the default=0 directive.

  1. I would go with D and not A, since grub doesn’t know about /dev , the kernel later will mount devices there.

    E is correct and not C.

    G is correct, default=0 means “Title Oracle Linux Server (2.6.39-100.0.12.16uek.x86_64)” will boot by default and that is an unbreakable linux kernel.
