I thought you have to edit grub.conf so that
boot=/dev/sda <<<< Point this to correct drive like /dev/sdb
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz <<< Change this to correct
(hd1,0) as an example
hiddenmenu
default=0
title Fedora (2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686)
root (hd0,1) <<<< Change this to (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686 ro root=/dev/sdb
rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us LANG=en_US.UTF-8 nomodeset
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686.img
Then you must fix /etc/fstab so that
/dev/sdb1 / ext3 defaults 0 0
...etc.
