The above line is a short version of: |
| 18 |
grub-install --recheck /dev/hda |
| 19 |
grub-install --recheck /dev/hdb |
| 20 |
grub-install --recheck /dev/hdd |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
--recheck was necessary because the old device map listed /dev/hdd as |
| 23 |
an optical drive. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I installed grub on all devices because I wasn't sure which one is |
| 26 |
checked by the BIOS. Now I know I can tell the BIOS to look at /dev/hdd |
| 27 |
first but that doesn't help. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
At the time of installation the system was running with all devices |
| 30 |
mounted. The old /boot (/dev/hda1) was unmounted and the |
| 31 |
new /boot (/dev/hdd1) mounted. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
On the same controller there are two more HDDs (hda and hdb) and a |
| 34 |
DVD-burner (hdc). UDMA modes are set correctly by the BIOS, after boot |
| 35 |
everything works fine. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
There is also a floppy drive and several USB-devices (card reader). |
