I suspect that's because you installed GRUB on /dev/sdb. IIRC, you did grub-install /dev/sdb, so I'd think that GRUB would assign that as hd0. Remember that the only thing grub-install does is write the first track of the destination drive. I'm not sure how you booted, but you must have told the bios to boot from the 2nd drive. I don't think GRUB has any way to tell what drive it boots from relative to the rest of the system, so it assumes that the drive with the boot track is hd0. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
