As instructed, I do e2fsck -c -y /dev/sda1, and it says: superblock last write time is in the future, fix it? yes How did that happen? Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

There is floppy and DVD drive.
I ran /usr/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/vol /dev/sdb1
got the following response: /dev/sdb1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive presumably because I have not yet switched the drives in BIOS.
I just tried to boot on sda1 with root on sdb1. It refuses, saying the automatic fsck did not work, put root in read-only, wants a manual fsck. sdb1 does not appear in df. /etc/fstab issue? That file is as usual (/dev/sda1 /, /dev/sdb1 /vol).

And you ran grub-install? This was what I did here to get wombat to boot from its harddrive, rather than from trabbi's. If you exchange the disks, you fire up the bios a few times, you get no grub screen, then I don't know what do do except try to install a fresh debian on sdb, but hell, there is the usb 1.0 and no floppy drive I guess?
Damn!
