Greetings; I have partitioned and formatted this drive, and copied everything across from the 2T hard drive to this one, (using mc) then used fdisk to toggle the bootable flag, verified its set with gparted, and edited its copy of /etc/fstab to use the numbers obtained from blkid to mount it in fstab.
And I have edited the /boot/grub/device.map to use the by-id syntax to define that SSD drive as opposed to the by-id of the 2T drive. Those are all visible in /dev/disk/by-id when the 2T is installed and a normal boot is done. Removeing the 2T, and plugging the ssd into its cables, IMO it ought to just boot. But where the initial grub loading line comes up with the 2T installed, all I am getting is a blinking cursor. So grub isn't even loading from it. What did I miss? Thanks for any suggestions.
