It should also be possible to write a boot sector to the IDE disk that
will boot from the SCSI disk. If your /boot partition is /dev/sda1,
something like this might work:
#echo "(hd0) /dev/hda" >/boot/grub/device.map.ide
#echo "(hd1) /dev/sda" >>/boot/grub/device.map.ide
# grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map.ide
grub> setup (hd0) (hd1,1)
...
grub> quit
After numerous attempts I've had no joy installing GRUB on the EIDE
drive & getting the Highpoint to boot from it - this is surely a quirk
of the server BIOS. If anyone has any other suggestions (please refer
to my earlier posts) I would be EXTREMELY grateful.
