What he said. Also, note that filename completion is enabled in the grub
shell, so if you type
root (hd0,0)
then try
kernel /vm<tab>
and don't get anything, try
root (hd0,1)
or 2, or
root (hd1,0)
etc, until you get a completion. At that point, you'll know what your root
disk is (hd0, or 1, or whatever). Once you boot up and have a running
system again, run
$ grub-install /dev/<whateveryour/bootdrive is), like
$grub-install /dev/sda
Quirk: regardless of what it is, /boot/grub/grub.conf seems to see the
physical drive /boot is on as (hd0)... and don't confuse, say, /dev/sda1
with grub's (hd0,1): two different nomenclatures.
