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?
Grub>root (hd0,0) and then: Grub>setup (hd0)
See above.
Now that grub is on both drives just add an extra entry in menu.1st like this:
title Linux [MIRROR] kernel (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/md2 vga=0x317 splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/md3 showopts initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd
This is just a copy of whatever you have for linux already but changing the drive number in parenthesis.
Depending on how your motherboard's BIOS handles a failed drive, you may or may not need the second entry to boot.
In my case I don't need to specify them. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
