If you want Grub on the _MBR_ to point to the cloned partition and read
its Grub files (including the grub.conf) from /dev/hda6, you will have
to run the grub command again with: root (hd0,5) and setup (hd0).
If you have'nt done that, then you are still booting the original Grub
stage1 on the MBR which finds its files on /dev/hda5, where i presume the
original grub.conf file has the kernel parameter: root=/dev/hda5
Once you reinstall Grub to the MBR, pointing to the cloned root (hd0,5) and
edit the grub.conf on hda6 with the kernel parameter: root=/dev/hda6
you will have what you want.
