I'm experimenting (locally) with near duplication of a system for the purpose of later installation onto a physically remote system. Grub is the boot loader and is installed on the BIOS boot device - primary master (/dev/hda) - and the duplicated system is now on the primary slave (/dev/hdb).
My primary system boots with : kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.15 root=/dev/hda3 to boot the duplicate I tried to use : kernel (hd1,0)/kernel-2.6.15 root=/dev/hdb2 However I've discovered that (hd1,0) doesn't map to the boot partition of hdb1. Experientially found that (hd3,0) does and allows me to boot the duplicate. Initially grub-install /dev/hda only mapped fd0 and hd0. I edited the device map to include (hd1) /dev/hdb and re-ran grub-install which now maps fd0,hd0 and hd1. My (Gentoo P3-450) system contains a floppy and 4 EIDE harddrives. Am I doing something wrong (with grub) or something else?
