Hey all,
I recently swapped my disks around. I moved my boot drive from /dev/hdb
to /dev/hda (same drive, just its place on the cable). Now, when the
system boots, it loads the grub> prompt and waits for further input.
How do I get it to load the grub menu?
My /boot/grub directory and grub.conf file are below. You'll note that
menu.lst is a soft-link to grub.conf, as seems to be typical.
The only other thing of note is that, as I swapped the drive around,
I found it necessary to boot from a grub floppy, then reinstall grub
on the hard drive (using the grub setup command). That may or may not
be relevant.
Anything else look funny here?
