Greets;
I finally said to hell with it and let F12 install itself on /dev/sdb with all its defaults.
I was surprised on the reboot when my usual grub menu from /dev/sda was all that showed up, no mention of an F12 install at all.
So, since I had blown away a centos install to put F12 on /dev/sdb, I carved up a fresh grub stanza that reads like this and added it to /dev/sda1/grub/grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sdb3 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=19 fallback=1 timeout=15 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
[...]
#21 new stanza title Fedora 12 (2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64 from dev/sdb) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_coyote-lv_root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64.img
which is in fact pasted from the /dev/sdb1/grub/grub.conf except for the initial "root (hd1,0)" statement.
So it looks as if I might have to 'chainloader +1 ' it instead, so how do I do that? I've never done that before.
Also, that /dev/sdb1 partition only mounts as ext4 if that is important.
Thanks.
