Borris Cat,

If you want grub to boot from the boot menu you have on hdb5 (assuming that you still have that on hdb5 and haven't overwritten it with an attempted lilo install or anything else you've tried), you will need to use "boot (hd1,4)" not the (1,1) you mentioned. Because (hd1,1)[second partition on second drive] does not exist.

Are you confused about numbering? Grub starts with 0 not 1.
hda=(hd0)
hdb1=(hd1,0)
hdb5=(hd1,4)

I still think you'd be wise to make a swap partition too but that is your choice. How much RAM in the machine?
