Yes, I'm familiar with Grub commands. The problem is that if the system is installed on hd0 and grub(actually the boot sector) installed on hd1's MBR, it could not find the root partition. Don't know how grub decides which drive is hd0 and the other is hd0. It seems depends on which drive was the boot device(the one selected by pressing F12 on my case). I get a hint after many failures. When I install grub into sdb from the linux system, sdb is seen as hd1. Then I boot from sdb, it becomes hd0. Not quite sure about this, just a guess. After about half a month's mess, I get used to it. Just press a couple of keys on startup, no big deal.
