Watch out here !! This is partially wrong counting . Yes indeed
hdb is the Primary Slave ( the Second IDE Hard Disk of the system )
But 8 is the seventh partition of hdb so in order to boot from
hdb8 you would have to ask grub to boot from (1,7 ) .
By all means you can do that while the computer boots , at the
boot menu press "e" make the change and go ahead .....
