I messed up installing F14 and don't know how to fix it.
What I had planned to do was reuse a /boot partition and put the rest
in a single new partition I had already created for the purpose.
I forgot about the /boot partition and I think I told it the
wrong thing when it asked where to put the bootloader.
I'm reasonably certain that it is recored somewhere,
but I don't know where and google has not been my friend.
Now I can only boot to F13, using the original /boot .
I tried to fix it by copying and editing stuff from
the F14:/boot to F13:/boot, but it hasn't helped.
I can still boot to F13, but when I got for F14,
I get a file not found error.
Of course, the particular file is not mentioned.
The F14 partition is /dev/sdb9 which I mound on /media/b9 .
Do I have to reinstall?
The following information is probably a bit much,
but I don't know enough to reduce it.
root@localhost media]# mount /dev/sdb9 b9
[root@localhost media]# cd b9/boot
[root@localhost boot]# ls -R

My F13 installation also has a lot of the elided error messages.
It also has the swapoff complaint.
