There is floppy and DVD drive.

I ran /usr/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/vol /dev/sdb1

got the following response:
/dev/sdb1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive
presumably because I have not yet switched the drives in BIOS.

I just tried to boot on sda1 with root on sdb1. It refuses, saying the 
automatic fsck did not work, put root in read-only, wants a manual fsck. 
sdb1 does not appear in df.
/etc/fstab issue? That file is as usual (/dev/sda1 /, /dev/sdb1 /vol).
