Hello,

I've got a Debian server configured with all filesystems mirrored except
for /boot (details below). Whist /boot is on sda, I've kept identical
partitions on sdb, so sdb1 is 1GB as per sda1.

What I'd like to do is have the option of booting from either sda1 or
sdb1. I have copied /boot to sdb1 but am not sure what the
next step is. The grub-install command looks promising, but I wanted to
seek advice before I inadvertently trash anything!
