hehe.. 

Actually, I once did end up with an unbootable system on a couple of
occasions.. one time it was caused by some crappy little program called
os-prober that actually _believes_ whatever it finds in grub
directories that may have been obsolete for years and many partitions
have come and gone.. Now I only use it once to gen' a template.. and
remove it from the system thereafter... 

On the other occasion, something in the BIOS must have decided that my
first drive all of a sudden was my second drive and vice-versa.

As the grub gurus told me.. ah.. but you should use UUID's.. trouble is
I do.. 

Obviously, I've borked systems more than once.. and a good thing too..
that's the only way you get to learn anything..
