Comments/Problems:

For some reason, Grub and Linux had different opinions about drive numbering, so I had to install Grub manually to (hd1) after setting root to (hd1,1), and specifying (hd1,1) as root in menu.lst too.
Alternatively, I could copy /dev/sda2 over to /dev/sdb2 to boot
successfully.

Everything else was OK.

Thanks for the great job!
