I'm confused as to how to install grub on a disk residing in one place in the drive order so that it can boot later from another place in the drive order. Hmm--that sounds confusing. Let me explain.
Here's my situation. I'm writing a disk duplicator. Suppose the disk to duplicate is /dev/hda to linux or (hd0) to grub, and I want to duplicate it to a new drive located at /dev/hdc (hd2). After the duplication process I expect to be able to take the new drive out, stick it in another system as /dev/hda (hd0) and boot it up. I can do all the partitioning and copying, but I'm not sure how to install grub on the new drive. It is something like "grub-install /dev/hdc" but I'm worried that when it actually tries to boot it will look for stage2 in /dev/hdc but it is now in /dev/hda. When I did something similar with lilo I could pass lilo some parameters to tell it that the drive now at hdc will be at hda when boot time comes along. Does grub offer something similar? Or do I even need to worry about this? I can't quite figure out from the docs whether this will be a real issue or not. I hope I've made myself clear--it is a somewhat confusing situation. Please ask me for any clarifications. Thanks, Michael _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
