I'm assuming you're going to remove hda and set up hdb as your primary
master...
Here's my recommendation: set up menu.lst to reflect the system on
hdb in its final configuration (i.e. use (hd0,0) etc but based on your
new disc partitions). Make a grub boot floppy. Change the cables &
jumpers over so your new drive (originally hdb) will become hda.
Boot off the floppy, and then type:
root (hd0,0) or whatever
setup (hd0)
It worked for me ;)
CP.
