grub repartition problem

Hello All,

I made a mistake. I had installed red hat 8 on my laptop and had everything working fine with the grub boot loader. I took the default install (and I'm not sure where that installs grub). To give myself more swap, I repartitioned my HD, causing /dev/hd6, which was my linux partition, to move to /dev/hda10. Now when I boot, grub thinks that /dev/hda6 (hd0,5) is the boot partition, which it is not. I have to maually give it the boot partition (root (hd0,9)) and then a config file (/boot/grub/grub.conf). My grub.conf has the correct settings, but upon boot, I think grub tries to read another config file. What do I need to do to save my settings in grub so when I boot, it just gives me the splash screen? I thought the default install put grub in /dev/hda1 (which is a windows partiton) and not the MBR, am I mistaken?


   Thanks,
      Bryan
