Well, I tried it again without success.
I'm trying to install a new 250Gb drive as hdb, while promoting the current
hdb to be the new hda.
That is:
I'm retiring the current hda; it's a 6Gb drive that is too old to rely on.
I'm moving the current hdb into the hda position and intend to boot and root
off of it.
The new 250Gb drive will be the hdb.
I don't usually have a cdrom on this system.
Hdc and hdd don't change.
So, I removed the old hda, moved the old hdb into the hda position and
installed a cdrom as hdb.
I booted the gentoo install cd.
Once in Linux, I ran ran fdisk and made /hda1 active.
then I ran grub:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
But when I configure my bios to boot from hda, it just hangs with the message:
Updating DMI information....
So, the question is: How do I get this new hda to boot?
Thanx in advance.
