Foolish me!
I've been running 12.3 quite happily. I bought a new drive and decided to install 13.1 on it. That went OK. But *sigh* the need for more config tweeks!
The real problem s that I _thought_ I was installing the boot on the mbr of the new drive. Apparently not. My mistake!
I was hoping to use the BIOS device boot selection to choose whch disk ... You know the rest.
I do not.
I'm not hoping that there's some way I can correct this,
Correct *what*? I still do not understand what the problem is. Did you install booltoader onto the "wrong" drive?
have the mbr of sda boot from the /boot on /sda and the mbr on sdb boot from the /boot on sdb.
To literally do what you describe you need to install generic MBR on both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, mark partitions with /boot as active, install bootloaders into /boot partitions boot block and somehow select your boot drive in BIOS every time you want to boot from another drive.
I thought grub2 was supposed to scan for these things?
Which things? It is hard to guess what you expect here.
Before diving in to YAST I thought I'd check here for guidance.
