I installed / onto a slave device on my IDE chain, and now, at boot up, it gives me a number of errors "invalid partition" from the boot manager. It then asks me where I wish to start up from, with the default being "0:ac(0,a)/kernel" (or something close to that). If I change all the '0's to '1's, it then boots up just fine. Is there somewhere that I can change the default to this value?
