Hello Rodney Your strategy to mount grub to boot from a second HDD is right.
Some comments: You'll need a hardware capable of booting from another HDD. Most of the modern PC BIOS allow to choose your boot media (HDD, CD, FLOPPY, even USB). > /boot/grun/menu.list > > title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-686-smp > root (hd0,0) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-686-smp root=/dev/md0 ro > initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-686-smp > savedefault > boot > > title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-686-smp (recovery mode) > root (hd0,0) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-686-smp root=/dev/md0 ro single > initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-686-smp > savedefault > boot > If you are building a RAID-1, you might configure a second entry in your grub menu to boot using your second disk as root. If your first disk is gone and you get to boot grub in your second disk, you'll need to run a root partition in the second disk, dont you?
