Ops.... GRUB can't boot from "any" disk. GRUB can "only" boot from the first 2 drives installed on the system. In example, if you have 3 disks (sda,sdb,sdc), the GRUB can't be installed at the third drive (sdc). The same rule are valid for ide disks. And Important !!!, all IDE or SCSI Devices are mapped by GRUB (including CDROM drives). The "device.map" file can be helpful.... Well.... this info came from the official RedHat 9 Documentation. In case, if the device.map maps like this, the system can't boot from /dev/sdb drive: (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/sda (hd2) /dev/sdb Well... if the question is only for boot from the rescue disk into the system under /dev/sdb2, try to append root=/dev/sdb2 to the kernel bootup line in rescue disk. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
