You first have to determine *precisely* what is wrong with the drive.
That requires the

Question: How do I tell grub about new /, new /boot, etc.?? Seems to
be mostly automatic with little documentation. Or do I go back to
lilo which I at least know how to configure :-)?
If you're mucking about with an existing system and need to update the
existing grub installation,
