If so, do a grub-install and then things should work.
cat /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdb That is both before and after update-grub. As previously mentioned, hd1 is the external drive, but only after the system has been fully booted up and running. At the GRUB menu when first powered up, hd1 is still the internal SCSI drive (whereas it becomes hd3 after booting). sudo update-grub Password: Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...

However, I am now leaning toward just installing on that 9GB SCSI drive after all (all the rest of the stuff (LOTRO and other things on the Windwoes side can still go on the external). Need to do this before the trial time expires. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
