You need to specify the Grub's root for each path to the kernel:
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 4.7.2-newbean" {
linux (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-4.7.2 root=/dev/sda1 ro
}
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 4.2-l-bean" {
linux (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-4.2-lfs-7.8 root=/dev/sdb1 ro
you can also just put set root on every entry:
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 4.7.2-newbean" {
set root (hd0,1)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.7.2 root=/dev/sda1 ro
}
menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 4.2-l-bean" {
set root (hd1,1)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.2-lfs-7.8 root=/dev/sdb1 ro
I use it like this, didn't know about the possibility to prepend the
kernel filename with the had.

If recall, that is the way to do it and not use the variable set early for
"set root="
# # #
That doesn't appear to work, however; I can only boot the 4.7.2 system.
Does
" vmlinuz-4.2-lfs-7.8 "
need to be in the /boot partition of /dev/sda1 for this to work
properly, since I have grub installed there?
Thank you all for the help--and the patience.
Sincerely,
William Harrington
