My working system is LFS 6.6 on /dev/sdb and I have a brand new LFS
6.7 on /dev/sda . I would like to chainload from GRUB2 on /dev/sdb to
GRUB2 on /dev/sda .
My first attempt was this entry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg on /dev/sdb:
menuentry "LFS 6.7" {
set root=(hd0)
chainloader +1
}
... but that fails immediately - I see a message from GRUB and then
almost instantly return to the main menu. I tried removing the "+1"
but then I get "Error, no file specified, press <Return>"[1], which I
*think* means that the chainloader command is complaining about not
having an argument.
I can boot from /dev/sda by changing the boot order in the BIOS so I
know that GRUB2 is there and working. Also, /boot/grub/grub.cfg on
/dev/sda specifies "root=(hd0)" so the "root=" line is correct. What
is going wrong? Surely there is a way to get GRUB2 to do this.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Regards,
Jeremy Henty

the gist is right.
