George from the tribe composed on 2019-06-23 15:52 (UTC-0500): Useful, likely necessary, information not provided: /etc/fstab from /dev/sda1 output from blkid
I have already copied /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1 using rsync, so now it is just a matter of setting up grub.
Not exactly.
I have successfully used the following procedure many times in the past, but this time it isn't working.
It appears from the partitioning on sdb that you are using UEFI. Grub plays a considerably different role using UEFI than when using legacy/MBR. Assuming your sda1 installation was in fact made in UEFI mode, efibootmgr should be employed to adjust how and whether Grub appears after POST. What might enable you to fix Grub is to make the required fstab and /etc/default/grub adjustments on sdb8, then boot from sda1 substituting /dev/sdb8's UUID for /dev/sda1's UUID on the kernel cmdline's root= (or just type in root=/dev/sdb8 instead of root=UUID=foo). Once sdb8 is in command from this temporary hybrid boot configuration, use YaST to reconfigure booting from sdb1/sdb8. If Windows is booting in UEFI and openSUSE on sda1 is not, then for openSUSE on sdb8 functionality you'll more likely need to create a new installation on sdb8. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
