You successfully installed GRUB to /dev/sdb, but with a grub.cfg that is identical to the one on /dev/sda. You need to install GRUB on /dev/sdb with a grub.cfg that actually points to the /boot and root partitions on /dev/sdb.
Is it an Ubuntu system? If so, run `sudo update-grub` and it should regenerate grub.cfg with all of the bootable partitions it finds. Then run `grub-install /dev/sdb`. (You'll probably want to do this all over again once you wipe /dev/sda.) -- Paul Mullen _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
