From an older message:
Once the system is up, install the grub software and then install grub on both MBRs like this:
grub
Grub>device (hd0) /dev/hda Grub>root (hd0,0) and then: Grub>setup (hd0)
Grub>device (hd0) /dev/hdb Grub>root (hd0,0) and then: Grub>setup (hd0)
quit
This seems to work. But I don't think I fully understand how....
Grub>device (hd0) /dev/hda
Alright first disk thus hd0
Grub>root (hd0,0) and then: Grub>setup (hd0)
See above
Grub>device (hd0) /dev/hdb
Why is it hd0 for the second disk and not hd1? <SNIP>
You are telling grub that device hd0 is now hdb. In other words, grub needs to see hdb as the main system drive so that will be the drive that has the mbr written to. In my case, it was actually hde. I added an additional ide card and used only one disk per channel. Just make it whatever your second bootable disk is. hda = drive 1 bootable hdb hdc = cdrom hdd hde = drive 2 bootable hdf hdg = drive 3 hdh -- Louis Richards
