by that is that where LFS's hda was grub's (hd0) and hdb was grub's
(hd1), after I changed the boot priority in my BIOS, hda (the windows
drive) was grub's (hd1) and hdb (linux) was (hd0) according to the grub
rescue floppy disk. Once I had booted LFS, however, my slave drive was
still hdb and my original master drive was still (by process of
elimination) hda. I hope I didn't confuse anyone by saying that.
Hi Josh,
I didn't want to go into too much detail earlier but here goes:
You need to swap grub's understanding of the drives by using the
device.map file.
Get grub to build it then edit it and swap the hda/hdb lines around (so
they point to hd1/hd0 respectively.
run grub and use the switch to use your edited device.map file. When you
run the root(...) and setup (...) commands, reference the swapped drive
numbers (if you follow me). It is a bit scary at first but if you use
the tab on the root command, you can see the partiton layout of the disk
in question and it will confirm that grub thinks they have been switched.
You will also need to switch the drive references around in your
menu.lst file. (You can also then try using the map command to swap
drives and get grub to boot windows from hdb!!!)
Take your time and you should be fine!
Cheers
Alan
