Hey, I've been trying to move my install to my hdb since this, I've edited etc fstab correctly, but I can't seem to get my linuxrc in initrd.gz edited correctly, If anyone knows what to do please let me know.
What I'm trying to do is leave it booting from linuxboot.cfg on the e: drive unlike a native install but without a rootfs, I've already eliminated my swap file as you can obviously see from the fstab, I'm using hdb2 for swap and it works perfectly, I just need to be able to load from the other hardrive so I can eliminate rootfs on the e: partition.Here is my fstab and origional linuxrc and what I've tried so far. I copied everything from rootfs over to hdb1 and fstab works fine, but I can't get the linuxrc to work.
