Hi all.
I'm trying to (finally) retire the 6Gb drive I'm using as my boot drive (hda).
I've copied / and /boot onto hdb. I understand the changes that I'll have to
make to fstab.
What I want to do is remove the current hda and replace it with the current
hdb. Then I have a new 200Gb drive which will be my new hdb. I end up with
the 6Gb to give to my 4 year old.
When I tried it the other day, I got a system that wouldn't boot. It just
printed GRUB all over the screen.
My understanding is that I needed to get into the grub shell and type:
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd1)
quit
This should install grub onto hdb. Then when I move hdb into the hda
position, it should just work, right? Maybe I mistyped something?
