Re: [Bug-grub] Booting from second hard disk

[Jason Thomas]

is it a /boot partition or directory?

if its a directory then you need to add that to the path:
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-21 ro root=/dev/hdb6 hdc=ide-scsi

if not try using the grub command prompt which has utilities like find.

or tab completion of the above command:

kernel (hd1,0)/

now hit the tab key to see what options are available.
