Hi Les, I just reboot to the SATA hard drive after doing two things.
First I found bootable partitions on both drives. The PARTA had the Swap
partition /dev/sda1 bootable :-) and the SATA had the partition with
Linux /dev/sda3 bootable. I erased both with fdisk and then rebooted to
the SATA using this in grub.conf:
root (hd1,2)
chainload
It booted up exactly like it did with the old grub stuff. So I will now
update my grub paper I am still working on. I will upgrade what it takes
to boot up another grub. This is without doubt the best way to boot
several Linux or windows systems with grub.
Which old grub stuff? Do you mean the chainloaded drive is still
recognized as /dev/sdf (or whatever it was when you didn't chainload
boot) if you omit the 'makeactive'?
