Moving boot

[Karl Larsen]

    I'm not going to answer Les because he keeps changing the message to 
other topics that have nothing to do with this one. The subject is that 
I have a setup right now on my computer that is IMPOSSIBLE if, the rules 
for BIOS being thrown around are even close to being correct. I think 
they are at best too old or just wrong.

    I have right now grub on the MBR of the Master Hard Drive which is 
(hd0) and the /boot/grub/ that the grub directs BIOS to find is on the 
second Hard Drive at /dev/sdb6/ which is (hd1,5) in Grub talk. I checked 
and /boot/grub/ is at least 7,000 cylinders up the second hard drive ;-)

    So my point to Les and all of you is that BIOS works a whole lot 
better than everyone seems to think. It goes all the way to the second 
hard drive from the first, and then 7,000 cylinders more and starts my 
system. Every time for years 8-)
