Grub, need to change fstab?
Hi,
I've been messing with grub without accomplishing much, accept an
occasional kernel panic, error fs not found
and an hour or more rescuing my system. I let grub do most of the work
on the configuration that follows
and it actually boots debian, with the SuSE kernel!!! Damn!!!! I think
I understand that since it plugged in the only
drive/partition it sees. I'm thinking that I need to add my other drive
/dev/hdb and its partitions to fstab. BUT altering
fstab can be fatal to the os, I've learned the hard way, so how would I
do that? Thanks
Oh and I have had the correct partitions listed in grub/menu.1st, but it
can't find the filesystem(s) on hdb.
