[NTLUG:Discuss] Boot from SATA drive

[Jack Snodgrass]

I have a Fedora FC3 system that I intalled on to a standard, ide, /dev/hda 
drive. I've just installed a 160GB SATA drive and rsync'd my partions 
to the /dev/sda, SATA drive. 

So far so good....  file wise.... now.... what do I need to do to get the 
system to boot off of the sata drive? I think that I can 
leave in the /dev/hda drive and boot off of it's MBR... but what
if I want to remove the drive alltogether and just boot off of 
the SATA drive? 

I changed the /etc/fstab file on the /dev/sda drive to point to the
/dev/sda partions ( /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sda5, etc ) and 
added a grup.conf entry that had root=/dev/sda3 instead of 
root=/dev/hda3. I got a kernel panic  when I tried to boot using 
root=/dev/sda3.

If anyone has any info, let me know.
