I've been trying to re-organise my drives somewhat. Since qtparted can't
move partitions around (at least not the version on Knoppix 4.0.2) I
decided to make copies of my partitions:
/dev/sda5 [/boot] --> /dev/sda7
/dev/sda6 [/] --> /dev/sda8
I modified (/dev/sda8)/etc/fstab like this to mount the proper
partitions. I also modified GRUB's menu.lst, adding the following entry:
title New system
root (hd0,6)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1-k7 root=/dev/sda8 ro vga=793
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.16-1-k7
However, when booting "New system" I still end up with the following:
% mount|grep sda
/dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro,acl)
/dev/sda5 on /boot type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev)
What's going on here, and how do I boot the copy I made?
