I have changed the root line to hd1,0 and it still boots sda. Other |
| 17 |
settings result in a failure. It doesn't even try to boot. |

But the kernel I want to use is on sda1. The OS is on sdb tho. |

I'm going to do this another way. I'm going to boot a stick thingy and |
| 31 |
just copy it that way. It takes longer but at least it works. Someone |
| 32 |
has borked grub tho. This worked just a few years ago. All I changed |
| 33 |
back then was the root=/dev/sd** to whatever you want to boot. Now it |
| 34 |
acts like it is hard coded to never change once booted. I just hope the |
| 35 |
thing boots after I change things around. |
