Back
goal: replace hda (with a bigger drive)
limits: no floppy, no cd burner
how do i do it?
rh9 is running on hdb. grub boots off hda, of course, so when i replace
hda, i 'll lose my mbr.
i have at hand a set of rh7.2 cd 's. but even having booted the rescue
cd, i don 't see how then to boot into my working rh9 partition on hdb.
i can invoke grub while on the rescue cd. it can install an mbr. but
if i try to set root to (hd1,2), and install an mbr, i just get
something about wrong cylinder size or some such message when i try to
boot.
with grub running on the rescue cd, i can load the configfile from my
rh9 partition on hdb. but it won 't let me just go and boot. that 's all
i really want to do. how do i do it?
tia,
greg
