I've been following LFS 6.0 and I've arrived at the make bootable point.
My host system is Suse9.1 (on /dev/hda1) and my LFS is on /dev/hdc1
That's because later this LFS would go on another machine on /dev/hda1 but first I want to boot it at least one time on /dev/hdc1
My question is how should I configure grub? I've proved
root (hd1,0)
seup (hd1)
And everything seems to be correct but when I boot machine it boots suse9.1 so I suppose that I'm doing something bad, anyone can help me??
A few things. First, although unrelated to your problem, is to make sure than your entries in /etc/inittab correspond to /dev/hda entries if the hd will be hda in your new system. Second is to make similar changes in your grub menu.lst. Thirdly is that your machine still boots to suse9, because (IIRC) when the BIOS on your machine goes to look for the master boot record, it will look for the one on the first harddrive. Since you only overwrote the MBR on a harddrive in your machine that wasn't the first harddrive, your BIOS still loads the MBR from your first hd which contains the instructions to boot slack.
