How do I get rid of Grub ?
since the disks are scsi on qlogic controller, issuing fdisk /mbr didn't work (and even, Im reinstalling linux).

The last time I checked, there was no un-install for GRUB. The way to get rid of it is to overwrite it.

Am I forced to have a bootloader ? What I want is the system to load directly from /dev/sda1, wich is my / partition, or whatever is needed by the kernel to load.
Can I write this into grub.conf in order to avoid a single line menu on the startup ?
I don't need a dual boot. and the disks are some kind of external, since fdisk/mbr just stop any boot activity forever :)

You can set this line in the /etc/grub.conf file:
timeout=0
That should skip the bootloader screen, and boot right into redhat. As far as scsi disks go, I don't know enough about them to make any other suggestions. Perhaps, someone else on this forum can tell you a safe way to wipe out grub on your scsi disk.
