Well, I didn't set up this system, and I'm trying to configure the grub
loader for it from a distance of a few hundred kilometers. The guys who
did set it up didn't configure the networking (they'll have DSL next
week so they decided to wait) so we're doing this all over the land
lines. Yep, kinda weird...
I see your point, it would be better to do that, wouldn't it ? Can we
simply copy the contents of one boot partition to the other, or is that
just too simple a solution to be workable ?
Thanks for the advice, Joe, it is most helpful and much appreciated.

For RH8:
/dev/hda1 /boot
/dev/hda2 /
/dev/hda3 /swap
For RH9:
/dev/hda5 /boot
/dev/hda6 /
/dev/hda7 /swap
Is there any particular reason for so many partitions? Why not one boot
partition, one swap partition and two root partitions? That would be a more
normal way of doing it.
Here's what
I'm thinking about for an edited
grub.conf :
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
### RH9
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma ro root=LABEL=/1
hdc=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.26-1.ll.rh90.ccrma.img
### RH8
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.19-1.ll)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.19-1.ll ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.19-1.ll.img
Is this kosher ?
Sorry, too tired and bleary to look at it properly. Maybe. As I said above I
think you'd be better off with one /boot partition.
