The bootloader uses the BIOS boot priority order, while the shell places hds before sds. So - If you have set your drive sda ahead of hda in the BIOS boot order, you'll get:
Grub# Bootloader Grub Shell HD0 sda hda HD1 hda hdb HD2 hdb sda You can use /boot/grub/device.map to tweak this. ('grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map' will generate one if it doesn't already exist.) -- Ian -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d-@ s: a+ C++ ULU+++>++++ P++ E- W+++ N- o+ K- !w O+ M-- V-- PS++ PE Y PGP(++) t+@ 5+@ X++ R+@ tv-- b++@ DI++ D G e@ h+ r--- y++(+++) ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
