I do this all the time, just the other day in fact, with the drive you gave me. I image drive to drive andthen grub just needs to get reinstalled, then it should work. type: grub then at the grub prompt type: root (hd0,0) find /boot/grub/stage1 setup (hd0) quit of course substituting 0,0 for your correct drive/partition.

Hi all,
I have been -trying- to setup a server with a '/' filesystem of 'reiserfs' for later use under LVM and some HA software but I have been absolutely unable to get past the starting gate and on top of feeling flat out stupid I am also getting terribly frustrated.
I want to do one, little simple thing - make a backup of '/' to another drive/partition and then reboot using it. It seems that absolutely no matter what I do, what file I edit or what I try to force the system (Fedora Core 1) INSISTS on using the original '/' (in this case '/dev/sda1'). I don't what the heck I am doing wrong but I am about to blow a gasket. I have never been so fsck'ing mad at Linux before. Why is it so damn hard to mount a different '/' partition?!
Anyway, I am using Grub because it is the only boot loader available on Fedora. I have tried reading the docs and am doing so again after sending this to see if I missed something simple...
Bah, if nothing else this is a rant that may help me cool down enough to find my problem. Sorry for the noise.
