Hello SYHass, I'm no expert so take what I say with
caution.  That said, have you considered taking the
boot tic off of hda2 and ticing it on hda6. I think
that should work. If not someone will surely correct
me. HTH.
Good Luck,  You probably want to run "sudo
update-grub" or "grub-update". Can't remember which.
