everything is copied over to the new drive. grub-install is kicking me however.
# grub-install /dev/sdb1
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your
device.map.
i have found this link, http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4622?page=0,0
but it requires a floppy disk, which my cd-rom lacking laptop has no
hope of having.
how can i go about installing grub with the new drive connected externally?
also, if all of the grub files are located in /boot/grub, and all the
kernels are the same, and the new larger drive has the boot flag, why
is it that the disk will not boot?
