Hello everybody,

I've setup grub on /dev/sda2 of a new SATA HD, listed
in dmesg as /dev/sda. The other HDs are /dev/hda,
which does present boot duty and /dev/hdb, containing
/ etc.

Before moving files from /dev/hdb, which apparently
has an un-fixable boot sector, to /dev/sda, I'd like
to be able to boot using the SATA drive then ditch
/dev/hda.

I note grub doesn't like root(sd0,1), returns "Error
23: Error while parsing number".

But what do I call it? hd0 and hd1 are taken.

-mw
