OK....the root partition for Fedora *used* to be /dev/sda2 and now is
/dev/sdb2. This is seen here:

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders

I have changed /etc/grub.conf manually to be:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda2

Where all (hd0,1) were changed to (hd1,1).
What else needs to be done?
Thanks.
