When it fails after re-pointing the grub booter to /dev/sdb, it does at least fail so that I can get to a shell as root. dmesg doesn't work from the shell, however. I wonder if there is a command I can use to query the new sda and find out where it is getting it from?
oh. then you practically have a working system! If you can get to a shell. You just need to mount /usr to the right place! see if you can run busybox: busybox cat /etc/fstab busybox mount /dev/sdb<WHATEVER> /usr busybox ... etc, etc, etc -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
