This is not true at all. GRUB2 makes no assumptions about drive enumeration. It is fairly common that users with multiple drives have two grub boot sectors on two different drives, with one of those boot sectors corresponding to a working grub version and the other corresponding to an old grub installation which has since been broken. In this case changing the boot priority in the BIOS can fix the problem by getting the BIOS to boot from the drive with a grub boot sector corresponding to the working grub installation (sometimes this can be a different drive than that which contains /boot/grub/, which often confuses people). So while changing the boot priority in the BIOS may solve the problem, it wouldn't be for the reason you've given. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
