I got the BIOS and RAID facility to recognize the drive swap. Good.
But it does not start grub. Bad.
Fatal. There is the off-chance I did not mark the drive as bootable in the partition table.
Note that I switched / and /vol in fstab. But that is read after grub, right?
I don't think you should have switched. But you are correct this should not matter until grub is loaded. You did switch the drives?
Try again with the bios, it if it sees the 140 G as the first drive. If it does, it is probably not bootable.
Switch back, boot, look at the partition table
cfdisk /dev/sdb
there sholud be a "boot" flag on the large sdb1 partion.
