[plug] grub not booting

The drive will still be called /dev/hdb, (which grub calls hd1). If
you remove the primary master, then the BIOS should generally choose
to boot off the primary slave (depends on the BIOS), but it will
still be called /dev/hdb by linux.

What isnt happening when it reboots? Grub should write to the screen
"stage1" and "stage2" as it progress, similar to how lilo does the
L-I-L-O thing. What comes up?

The example menu.lst file that comes with grub is farily informative
for most purposes. (After you've installed it that is).

Regards,

Bernard.
