Are you talking about setting up Grub on the other disk?

I got this in my notes:


*** Grub setup
Setting up GRUB: (assuming you've already installed it)
------------------------------------------------------------------
user@user:~$ sudo grub

grub> root (hd0,0)


grub> setup (hd0)


grub> root (hd1,0)


grub> setup (hd1)


grub> quit
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is how /boot/grub/grub.conf is: (/dev/md0 mounted as /boot)
(Assuming kernel is installed as /boot/bzImage, and RAID1 support
compiled into the kernel).
------------------------------------------------------------------
# Boot automatically after 30 secs.
timeout 30

# By default, boot the first entry.
default 0

# Fallback to the second entry.
fallback 1

# For booting with disc 0 kernel
title  GNU/Linux (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage root=/dev/md1

# For booting with disc 1 kernel, if (hd0,0)/bzImage is unreadable
title  GNU/Linux (hd1,0)
kernel (hd1,0)/bzImage root=/dev/md1
