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.
Then you have to run grub-install -recheck --root-directory=/vol /dev/sdb1 without a successful grub install it will not run. Try again with the grup install.
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).
Most likely. Change taht fgile so that /dev/sdb is supposed to run the root. But try another grub-install first. Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel phone: +7 383 330 6813 skype: thomaskrichel
