and "bios boot" = /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
OK, so when you boot from either bios bootable partitions,
what gets mounted as your root partition?
If you root partition is different in each of the two cases,
then you can control what gets mounted first in each root
partition's /etc/fstab file.
because you use the same /boot dir, each kernel in grub.conf specifies it's root drive.
So, you may have to edit grub.conf so that each boot kernel (i.e title) has two instances where
each one gets to specify it's root partition such as:
root (hd0,1)
or
root (hd1,1)
Also, in each /etc/fstab (in the respective root partitions) you will need to
specify which partitions to mount first, and which swap partitions to use.
ope this is clear.
