I was learning how to set up ethos last night and was changing settings and I was getting close to starting the miner. I decided last minute to update the miner. I had forgot that I should restart os prior to update. So the system failed to update. I went back to my original download and formatted the SSD I was using. I was going to start fresh. when I finally got the SSD good to go I got Unknown filesystem on ethos. I tried below in various forms and i still just says unknown file system:

set root=(hd0,6)
set prefix=(hd0,6)/boot/grub
insmod normal
normal

it would always stop at insmod normal and spit out unknown file system. I believe the disk is probably not formatted correctly. Do i need to format the SSD differently? I tried searching for unknown filesystem and for most people the above seems to work.
