I am running FC2 with software raid 1 (2 disks, 3 partions each). I had been only able to boot off of hde. In order to feel that I would be able to boot off hdg if hde went south I decided to try to fix this. But it turned out to be a lot harder than I expected. I am not sure why I didn't get set up to boot off of both disks when I did the install. It was a fresh install, but I might have saved the partitions from a previous RH9 and aborted FC2 upgrade without rewriting the MBR. While reading the grub documentation it seemed like the correct way to do things was to: root (hd1,0) setup (hd1) However this turned out not to be the case and I went down a lot of dead ends before doing something that worked. The setup command embeds a stage1.5 file for e2fs and refers to files with a prefix of /boot. (I don't know if this is relevant, but /boot is a separate partition in my case.) What finally ended up working for me was (I needed to do both drives by the time I got to the end of my quest): root (hd0,0) install (hd0,0)/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0,0)/grub/stage2 (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf root (hd1,0) install (hd1,0)/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1,0)/grub/stage2 (hd1,0)/grub/grub.conf
