Not long ago I had a similar situation, and here are the work notes (which were posted in the mailing list somewhere): Changing woody from hdb to hda howto. Final Version (with Grub) 1. Boot with the installation CD (any should work, I used #1). 2. Press F3 for information about possibilities (may be skipped?) 3. type rescue root=/dev/hda1 4. type in password for root, remount to write as indicated. 5. Change /etc/fstab to reflect hda instead of hdb. 6. Run grub-install /dev/hda 7. Run update-grub. 8. Edit /boot/grub/menu.1st as needed. 9. Reboot. 10. Enjoy. 11. Contribute to the community. If you use lilo instead of grub, make the following substitutions: 5. Edit /etc/lilo.conf to indicate the change. 6. Run lilo to update your system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
