You need to consider how the disks will look to bios/uefi/grub at the point when you are booting into it. For example, if: -- * you have two separate physical disks; * and your debian (without any ~unusual remappings/&c) sees them as sda (for disk1) & sdb (for disk2); * and you don't change the physical connections of the disks to the computer; * then your lfs should see the same sda (for disk1) & sdb (for disk2) - again, without any ~unusual remappings/&c. -- > > I join my config files in case someone can enlighten me on what is going > on, any documentation or hint would be welcome, thanks. > > fstab : http://pastebin.com/iE18fXEZ > > grub.cfg : http://pastebin.com/DpPfb6ic > > I used the "parted /dev/sdb set 3 bios_grub on" command on my /boot > partition to manage to install grub, /dev/sdb3 is formatted with ext2 format > > fdisk -l : http://pastebin.com/NHjkCDNf Paste the three pastebin contents into your message - not least as they'll be short-enough. rgds, akh -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
