grub question



Bonjour,

I have two HD (sda sdb) and grub installed on the sda MBR.

I want to install grub on the sdb MBR because the system is installed on
the sdb HD.

At this time, sdb is formatted like this:

/ on sdb1

the remaining of this drive is a part of a lvm gathering this remaining
and a 3rd disk (sdc)

sda has an extended linux partition with / on sda5 and /boot on sda6
this disk was used in a previous install and is no more in use now,
except the MBR and the grub.conf file which located in /boot/grub (on sda6).

I want to re-format this sda to use it for backups and some other
things, so I have to move the grub.conf somewhere else (/boot/grub on sdb1).

How can I proceed?

Thanks.
