:-)  I'm really hoping that I don't need to.  Meanwhile, I now have a 
situation that leaves me utterly confused.

I've installed FC4 to the master drive.  All went well until the Reboot.  Then 
it attempted to launch Mandriva - it reports a kernel panic because it can't 
find init.

I was going to change that box onto FC4 within the next few days anyway, so I 
don't want to recover Mandriva, only the data.  It appears that lilo is 
suddenly working!

Question - why is it trying to boot from hdb, rather than hda, where FC4 is?  
What can I do about it?
