Craig,

Thanks. Is it:

grub-install /dev/sda
or 
grub-install /dev/sda1

When upgrading to fc9 I specified that boot be updated, but not 
reinstalled. The funny thing is that I have rebooted, succesfully,
multiple times since install fc9. Grub appeared to be working, until
I did a much smaller upgrade of seven packages today?

Jim
