hello,
I have fc3 on /dev/sda. I just successfully installed fc5 on a new
drive /dev/sdb, but on reboot th e new os does not show up on the grub
choose and boot screen.
Info:
/boot/grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda

It looks like I need to add to and rewrite to my /boot/grub.conf file.
I am new to Linux and
just want to be sure. My boot sequence starts with the floppy but I
don't know how grub decides which file to read.
I tried the rescue cd to see what the fc5 /boot/grub.conf file says
but I am new to the command line and could't bring it up.
can anyone help me?
thank you,
-ron-
