command gurb> cp /etc/fstab does not show "/"
I went through the tutorial on this site " grub troubleshooting". I also read all the posts through searches on the term "grub".
I in running the questions to Grub (grub>find) I found an error in the grub menu --that root is on (hd2,1), it had been labled (hd1,1). So I changed the grub menu to reflect the location of root. Root = /dev/sda2 was the correct entry for fstab and fstab showed that location for root.
Yet when I run grub > root (hd2,1)
(i get the proper file info response} -- then --
grub > cat /etc/fstab
the output starts with:
/dev/sda3 /home XXXxXXXX (this jives w/fstab and is true)
there is no listing for :
/dev/sda2 / xxxxxxxx
when aa root I open fstab in kate text editor the entry for root is the first entry(/dev/sda2). When I ask grub to cp the fstab--it's missing.
I'm getting closer to a fix, almost ready to try a boot after the corrections to the grub menu, but the fact that grub doesn't cat the root is off putting. Is this normal grub behavior or should I be looking to change an entry somewhere? This is a single boot Suse 10.1 setup.Thanks.
Edit --I ran grub > cat /etc/fstab and no boot shown, not grub > cp /etc/fstab
