I have Gentoo (2005.0) installed on my master primary device, and I
am trying to create a minimal Linux system on a new disk, my slave
primary device.
So, I partition and make a 32M ext2 file system, make the appropriate
directories and devices, install busybox and other odds and ends. Then I
copy over the kernel from my Gentoo system (same hardware, so the same
kernel).
Finally I install grub on the slave primary device, and set up my
grub.conf like so:
default 0
timeout 10
title=minimal linux on slave primary device
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1
root (hd1,0) should be the first partition on my slave primary device
You don't need to install GRUB on the slave drive, just add this to your
existing grub.conf. GRUB is able to boot from a different drive.
Ah, but eventually the first disk will go away. It's just support while
I develop the minimal install. So I do need grub on it. But thanks for
responding anyway, I appreciate the help
