Reboot and choose the "newroot" option for booting If it works you can change "newroot" to be the default. If it does not work you still have the previous boot option with hdb2 as root. ----------------->>>> My concern is I don't want to reboot until it is all done. So is it like init 2 that causes the system to go to single user mode? I rarely mess with the different init levels so I'm not sure how to do it!
