Grub Question
I am trying to convert from lilo where boot=/dev/sdb0 and
root=/dev/sdb1 in lilo.conf
I have tried kopt=root=/dev/sdb1 ro and groot=(sdb,0) in grub's menu.lst
(also kopt=root=/dev/sdb0 ro since I understand grub counts from 0).
The MBR is unchanged and the system still boots with lilo.
A problem could be that the bios setup detects the hard drive which lilo
believes is sdb as Sata 3 (Sata 1 is another hard drive and Sata 2 is an
optical drive). I thought maybe grub would think lilo's sdb is sdc but
this didn't work either.
A google entry indicated there is a command line continuation feature
which should show the available drives which grub sees. I haven't been
able to make this work.
The google entries I've found have no examples for designating Sata
drives.
What have I missed?
Tom
