ok i have another distro on a different HD, /dev/hdd2 is where it is located, but how do i edit the grub.config file to be able to boot the distro on /dev/hdd2 and the one that i have already.

add the title and use

root(hd3,1)

you will also see that since /boot is on hdd1 that you need to add /boot to the path for your kernel and initrd

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdd2

or just copy the files to your other /boot partition and use something like this

kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdd2

with the existing root(hd?,?)
