Okay, solved my own problem. My backup of root "/" that I restored onto the
new logical volume /dev/Volume00/TempVol was lacking the block device to access
TempVol. A simple:
# mknod /dev/Volume00/TempVol b 58 4
was all I needed and up she came. I have a vague recollection that one of the
manpages for an lvm utility mentioned something about backup/restore of special
files but I can't remember which one...
