I did Grub Frugal install.

Everything is fine except that it hangs for a minute on boot "Looking for cdrom /dev/scd0" then it load the image from /dev/hda1

It booted fine but is there anyway I can fix the initial "Looking for cdrom" screen to speed up the bootup process.

Please help. Thanks

In my frugal install, there's a  menu.lst  file in the   boot/grub/  directory of the partition where the image is.

In tha menu.lst file, there's a line that starts as below:

kernel /boot/linux24 fromhd=/dev/hda3 root=/dev/hda3 ..

The fromhd=/dev/hda3 part seems to speed up the bootup process.
