======================

The initial, commented /dev/sdb is correct, /dev/sda is the master drive on 
this mobo's only PATA interface, and is not normally mounted. /dev/sdb is the 
first SATA drive, and is selected as the first bootable hard disk in the bios.
So I assume then that my command line to install grub again would then be:
grub-install /dev/sdb ?

I will probably hit a package that does this eventually, I have it processing 
the updates displayed about 1 yumex screen full at a time, and so far that 
hasn't triggered a dependency storm.  That knocking sound, yeah, you know what 
it is.

Thanks Craig.

I have tons of self compiled stuff here, and will again shortly.  The radeonhd 
driver supplied with the dvd is so slow I can repaint the screen with a 2" 
wide paint brush faster.

[root@coyote ~]# glxgears
1628 frames in 5.0 seconds = 325.495 FPS
1636 frames in 5.0 seconds = 327.036 FPS
1635 frames in 5.0 seconds = 326.821 FPS
1573 frames in 5.0 seconds = 314.521 FPS
1455 frames in 5.0 seconds = 290.819 FPS
1521 frames in 5.0 seconds = 304.192 FPS

Which surprises me, it feels a heck of a lot slower.  Moving firefox an inch 
to the left takes about 10 seconds as it redraws the whole screen about 50 
times doing it.

It was doing about 900 before I broke it.  And I could move a screen as fast 
as the mouse moved.  Sigh.
