What does your 'device.map' file say the sdb drive is mapped to? You |
| 7 |
usually find the 'device.map' file in /boot/grub for both grub1 and |
| 8 |
grub2... not sure which one you use (haven't followed this thread, sorry). |

Hm... did you mean to write 'sdb1' (your /boot partition as mentioned |
| 13 |
earlier in the thread) or do you mean that you want to boot a kernel |
| 14 |
located in sda1 and still use sdb1 as your /boot partition? I don't see |
| 15 |
how the last part would work... |

You need to tell grub where your / (root) partition are named (by grub |
| 18 |
convention). You find out what hdX maps to what drive (sdX) through grub |
| 19 |
or the 'device.map' file that should have been created when you set up grub. |
