There is a common task that it seems people always want to do with their bootloader, but no one ever seems to know how to do it. I think it would make an excellent example for the grub documentation. Say my computer has a single hard drive with linux on it in partitions /dev/hda* (or hd0 in the GRUB sense). I add a drive /dev/hdb (hd1) make partitions and copy all of my files to it, creating a /boot directory and the like because I am planning to remove the old hard drive and make my new one primary. How do I install the bootloader on (hd1) so that it works correctly, referring to files that will be on a different drive number, when I remove the old hard drive and it boots as (hd0)? I always reboot with a boot diskette to do this, and then install the boot-loader, but it seems that if you plan ahead, you should be able to do without the diskette.
