OK. I thought of something else to try. I created a new grub entry. |
| 46 |
This is a plain entry with no init thingy at all. It looks like this: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
title Gentoo no init tmp drive |
| 49 |
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-3.3.1-1 root=/dev/sdb2 nox |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Simple but it still boots the sda drive instead of the sdb drive. What |
| 52 |
am I missing here? I looked in dmesg, the root=/dev/sdb2 line is in |
| 53 |
there so grub passes it on. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
This is weird. I need ideas folks. I'm running out of things to try. |
